Youth Dance Classes
Youth Dance Classes – Social dancing for middle school thru young adults “Life-skills through Dance”
Physically meeting and working with others, combining dance lessons with common courtesies, helping students create a positive impression in a physical world. Middle-school, high-school, and young-adult dancers build coordination, confidence, teamwork, and friendships in our welcoming, no-pressure environment.
Special Youth Rate
Students ages 15–20 can join our adult group classes at the special youth rate. See full youth pricing details, earlybird discounts, large family discounts, and more on our Pricing & Specials page.
What’s It About?
Our youth social dance classes teach classic Ballroom, Latin, and Swing styles in a fun, supportive group setting. Dancers rotate partners (or dance solo if preferred) and learn real-life social skills. No experience or partner needed!
Who It’s For
- Middle School – Break the ice, build teamwork, improve coordination, and make friends.
- High School & Young Adults (ages 15–20) – Excellent stress relief and a great way to meet new people.
