Classes
Our one-of-a-kind style of dance education mirrors that of the traditional kindergarten through high school education system. Students are placed in classes based primarily on age group and move up essentially all together through the years. They receive a well-rounded dance experience at each and every lesson and develop lifelong friendships along the way. The Danceworks main season runs from September through June, with everyone participating in a Broadway-style performance to culminate each year!
