Youth Open Dance (Ages 7-12)

Get ready to move, groove, and express yourself through dance. This choreography-based program welcomes all experience levels, including children trying dance class for the first time. Each week, participants explore a different dance style, including jazz, tap, ballet, and musical theatre, before learning a choreographed routine set to music.
 

Sessions include strengthening and lengthening exercises that help build stamina, coordination, and dancer strength. Classes blend creativity, musicality, and athleticism in a supportive and inclusive environment.
 

Instructor Clara MacLeod brings a diverse background in dance, music, theatre, choreography, and group fitness and is passionate about making dance fun, safe, and accessible for everyone.
