Recreational program for kids

A joyful foundation that grows with them

Youth group sessions typically run for about two and a half months. Because each class builds on the last, consistent attendance and a commitment for the full session help every child progress with their group.

Classes develop rhythm, coordination, posture, teamwork, and confidence while introducing the technique behind ballroom and Latin dance.
