Do you wanna dance? You've come to the right place. The Arts Connection
has offered dance instruction for years, but accolades from parents,
students, examination boards, and judges in competitions attest that
our program just gets better and better all the time. We keep classes
small, and have extremely gifted and attentive teachers who continue
trying to excel in their fields, and our students love having
instructors who clearly have a passion for dance. All dance students participate in a year-end performance at the Gateway Theatre in Richmond. For more information and class descriptions, download our program brochure or check out our Dance Divisions Admissions page.
Our instructors
offer the best in dance discipline and technique. They are
professionals who stay active in the dance and performance community by
regularly attending conferences, workshops and competitions. Our
examination classes are smaller than most schools so that attention is
paid to artistry, technique and the physical needs of each and every
student. We offer classes for students who are interested in dance
recreationally and classes for those who wish to pursue dance for
certification. We also offer special Competition Classes for those
students wishing to participate in competitions throughout the region.
Our facilities offer three professional dance studios in addition to a
clean, bright and positive learning environment.
Ballet We're proud of our program, its
teachers, and our terrific student body. While we certainly focus on
results, we also focus on fun, whether you're taking classes for recreation or RAD certification. Hip Hop and Breakdance Joffer Mercado; Professional Hip-Hop dance and Breakdance performer.
JazzOur jazz students have enjoyed great success
in competitions due to the fantastic choreography provided by their
instructors, as well as their fantastic technique. Jazz dance emphasizes individual style, expression and improvisation. The various styles of Jazz and Lyrical dance have
grown from the emphasis on individual style, expression, and improvisation. Students have the
opportunity to enjoy both recreational and competitive classes in this
style of dance.
Tap Many of our little dancers enjoy taking both tap & jazz classes. In
order to give little ones the opportunity to experience different dance
styles and see which disipline they would like to pursue, we have
created several different Combo classes that combine jazz, tap or
ballet. We also offer Tap classes for students who are more experienced, in various levels and age groupings.
Musical Theatre If
your child is looking for a class where their inner performer can be
expressed, this is the class for them! Children will discover what
it takes to sing, dance and act in character onstage. During class
time they learn a choregoraphed Musical Theatre piece, work on their
singing chops and explore characters through fun drama games. We
believe that lots of fun mixed with the right amount of discipline, is
the best way for children to learn and explore.
