The JCC offers classes that explore a variety of dance styles. Classes for school-age children and teens are organized by all levels. Students advance based on their ability to perform given steps. Adult dance classes are appropriate for first-time as well as previous dancers unless a level is specified.
The JCC School of Dance offers a curriculum that provides participants from pre-school through adults with unique, creative experiences that emphasize fun and learning. We encourage creative exploration in a non-competitive atmosphere that fosters self-confidence, self-esteem and independence.
Our classes are offered at developmentally appropriate levels and are taught with sensitivity to each student’s abilities. Our goal is to encourage creativity and a love of dance based on a solid technical foundation. JCC School of Dance participants present an end-of-the year recital to showcase what they have learned throughout the year.
