FULL YEAR CLASSES (September -May) ongoing registration
Dance Connection’s studio philosophy is to teach young dancers to have fun and dance to their full potential. Our instructors are very experienced and have many years of teaching young children. Your dancers will love their class! We are also happy to accept students once our session has started, we know you have busy lives. Just give us a call or email or contact us on social media.
We encourage parents to come up with their young dancers to have some social time with the dance parents in their class. Viewing classes are scheduled during the year to show the progress as we go through the year.
We welcome your inquiries at any time if you have questions.
Dancers will perform in the Winter Showcase at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre in December and our Year End Recital in May. As we encourage Community Spirit in our studio, they will also perform at a local Senior Care facility during the winter holiday season.
Ages are calculated as of December 31of the current year.
