KIDS!/TEEN CLASSES AGES 4-18
Dance Fusion/Total Fitness/Ballet Spirit/Tap/Hip Hop
Our mission at STUDIO 509 KIDS is to provide quality programming for kids and teens in an environment that is supportive and non-competitive. Dance is a form of physical expression, it instills a sense of discipline and respect… for our students, their classmates and their teachers.
In our classes, kids work on their muscular endurance, their flexibility, and their coordination. They learn to connect their mind to their body. Each child in the class will interpret the movement and music differently. We create a structure in which our students can find freedom. Dance is fun and we celebrate this at STUDIO 509!
