At the Dance Center at Severna Park
We offer a variety of dance classes and sessions to train even the youngest dancers in the fundamentals of ballet, tap, and jazz. Our youth classes are year-long in nature and culminate in an end of year recital. Our youth session classes offer training in shorter durations, culminating in a classroom performance at the end of each session. Class/age levels are used as a guide for placement. Teacher discretion will be used to determine final placement
For beginner classes, they will perform a ballet and tap dance. For more experienced classes, students will perform a ballet, tap, and jazz dance. Specialty classes can be taken in addition to the core ballet/tap/jazz class for more experienced dancers.
First-time attendees can also try a class or session for free! Register your child here.
*Session classes may be canceled if minimums are not met.
