Summer
PROGRAM
Our summer programs are a great way for students to stay engaged with the dance studio and maintain their skills they worked so hard to acquire during the school year. Our summer courses have a lower commitment level than our regular season programs, which allow kids to enroll while also being busy with other fun summer activities. Summer programs are also a great way for new students to get a feel for the dance classroom and see if it's a great fit for them! We welcome students of all levels and ages to come see what our summer classes are all about! Here is a list of programs we will be offering this summer!

Tumbling Programs
Boys Tumbling + Hip Hop
Boys tumbling has been a huge hit the past two years!

Join us for 3 weeks (Mondays in June) of Boys Tumbling + Hip Hop! A 30 min class split for learning tumbling and hip hop techniques. Hip Hop is a great way to learn fun and upbeat dance moves along with cool tricks, stunts, and breakdance style moves. Hip Hop is a great style of dance for boys to train in as it teaches them endurance, musicality, athleticism, and rhythm. This is a great class wether you have been in tumbling before or not! We will focus on strength, speed, and muscle memory in the tumbling portion as well. We hope you join us in this 3 lesson trial as we hope to grow and gain a boys hip hop program soon!
