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 6-week sessions are a fantastic way to continuing training, growing and learning in order to reach your dance goals. For dancers moving up into 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 bring 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!
*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.*
