YMCA Dance Classes

 

Dance is a great, fun opportunity to get students moving. Youth of all ages can enjoy dance in some form. When kids get their body moving through dance, they’re working on their coordination, flexibility and physical strength. YMCA dance classes offer a variety of dance types to keep youth engaged and interested.

On top of the physical benefits from dance, kids are also able to work on their creative expression, meet new friends and build their confidence.

2. Jazz

Jazz is a fast-moving form of dance that includes popular songs and dance. Classes are short – just 30 minutes each – and are available for kids as young as six years old. Jazz techniques are taught to varying age groups, and teens are placed in their own dance classes.

Class times vary depending on the type of class you’re enrolled in.

We offer three class types, currently, that include:
