KIDS Dance 2008/2009

At TOPS we know that dance can make a difference in a child’s life. Dance builds strong, graceful bodies, but it also builds self-confidence, poise, coordination, determination, creativity, and an appreciation for what the human body is capable of doing. We feature tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and adult classes. And because our instructors are “TOPS”, our classes and dance teams are lots of FUN!

There are no makeup classes for the KIDS Dance program
