Professional dance instructors along with volunteers will be on hand to help each child maximize their abilities and to have fun! Classes will be held on Sunday mornings at 11am for both the Junior Troupe (ages 4-11) and the Senior Troupe (ages 12-21) beginning on Sunday September 30th and will end in our recital on Sunday November 18th.
