Class Descriptions
The Spring 2023 session will begin January 9th and end on May 20th. In our Spring 2023 session, we will be having a recital that students will prepare to showcase their dances and skills they have learned. Our recital is on May 20th at the Long Center in downtown Lafayette. Registration for the Spring 2023 session begins December 3rd.
Our recreational classes are skill based rather than age. Only dance fundamentals and dance & tumble have an age requirement. All classes that are step 2 and above need to be recommended or evaluated by a leadership team member in charge of the class. We do not want a dancer to feel overwhelmed or not challenged enough.
