Ongoing Classes and Gatherings
Since 1987, Young Dance has encouraged youth in our community to build body and spirit through dance. Our mission is to transform lives through movement. We are an inclusive community where creativity flourishes, encouraging personal and artistic excellence through diverse dance forms.
Classes are already running and many are at capacity!

There is still room for students in Afro-Modern. Taught by Aneka McMullen, Afro-Modern is a contemporary class where dancers explore full-body expression rooted in West African, Caribbean, and American dance traditions.
Ballet 2 is taught by Hannah Pierce. Young Dance teaches ballet skills from a body-positive lens that builds terminology, coordination, flexibility, and rhythm.
Finally, Modern 3 is a contemporary dance exploration of Space, Time, Body, Effort, Movement, and Form. This class is taught by Blake Nellis.
