What is the difference in classes?

Recital Class

Dancers will learn a dance to perform at the recital. They will work weekly on the technique of that class and learn choreography for their dance. This class will only be available to join during certain times of the year and is not eligible to be used for make-up classes.

Technique Class

​Technique class, dancers will focus solely on learning the technique and will not be learning a performance dance and will NOT be participating in recitals. This is perfect for recreational dancers or dancers who want to get extra practice. These classes have open enrollment and can be used for make-up classes.
