Our Summer Schedule is Here!
We love summer dance so much because it allows us to continue the fabulous FUN and FITNESS throughout the summer months! Our 7-week sessions are a fantastic way to continue training, growing, and learning in order to reach your dance goals. For dancers moving up to the next level, Summer Dance will help give you a jump start on learning new technique.
It’s also the PERFECT time to learn something new! Whether you are wanting to try dance for the first time or if you are looking to test out a new style, we have just the right class for you!
Our Summer Dance Sessions are currently being offered both in person and in our Virtual Dance Studio. This provides our dance families with the option to take class in our Virtual Studio or in-person or possibly a combination of both. We are working on gathering tech and cleaning equipment to make a hybrid model available to our dance families. There are many factors that will influence how and if we are able to have an in-person experience, but please know that our dancer’s safety is our first priority!
*There is a $25 registration fee for Summer Dance for non-members only.*
*Please note, Joy of Dance reserves the right to discontinue in-person classes and continue classes in our Virtual Studio if deemed necessary. No refunds will be issued.*
Ages 1.5 – 2.5
Dance With Me
This is a great class for our 1.5-3-year-olds. We use music they know and love while learning beginner dance moves with a ballet or jazz foundation with a parent or guardian. We learn all about warming up, stretching, nursery rhymes, role-playing and obstacle courses to foster a love for dance and enhance gross motor skills.
Helpful hints for our Dance With Me class: The parent can assist with all dance moves, even carrying the dancer if she or he wants extra cuddles, or the dancer may participate more independently, dancing next to their parent. Occasionally dancers can get upset because they are overwhelmed. It happens to the best of us! If this occurs, it’s best to leave the room, calm down your dancer and return when he or she is feeling better.
