What:

A class introducing the basics of ballroom for boys and girls ages 6-12. No prior experience needed! No partner needed!

The kids ballroom class will cover an introduction to several dances in both the Standard and Latin styles.

Why:

The benefits for kids learning ballroom dancing are so many, a better question is “Why NOT?!”

Ballroom provides both excellent exercise and physical development and also encourages musicality and artistic expression.

Not only will your child’s physical and artistic abilities grow, ballroom builds social skills, confidence and posture.
