About Our Dancesport Youth program

One of the founding beliefs of our program is that partner dance teaches important social values. Our students learn not only how to be graceful, coordinated and poised, but also how to be self disciplined, self-confident and cooperative. Good sportsmanship is an integral part of dance competition. Along with attaining more refined manners and better posture our students also leave the studio with an education in different cultures. At Dancesport, students gain insight into other cultures through their study of dances and their history, dances like Cha Cha, Samba Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango and Rumba--to name but a few. This cultural education is further supplemented by our own multicultural staff and student body.
Previous members of our youth program have competed for local, regional and national titles and championships. The experienced they gained and the friendships made while being on a the team are treasured as much as the trophies and medals.

For all these reasons (and many more) we believe involvement in partner dance is one of the greatest ways to boost a child's self-esteem and help them feel comfortable in nearly any social and cultural setting.

AGES: All of our classes are coed but we have mostly girls.
We accept students in class Dance 101 starting at age 9

All Ages Dance Parties - A great way for the students to practice and have fun. They'll have a chance to dance like they've learned in class in an atmosphere that promotes good social behavior. They may bring a nonmember friend(s) if they wish. Dates will be posted on our calendar.

Recitals & Competitions -Throughout the year we will hold Recitals, Showcases, & Competitions. All students will be encouraged to perform and participate. Certificates from Medalist Exams will be awarded at special Trophy Balls. These are a lot of fun and enjoyable for everyone in the family. There will also be opportunities for travel to competitions.

Private Lessons-Discounted private lessons for youth team members can be scheduled at any time with one of our team instructors. Private lessons are a great head start to any of the dance programs. Advanced competitive students will enjoy the benefits of champion coaches for choreography & mentoring
