The purpose of the combination class is to introduce young dancers to the different styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers continue to learn basic steps and terminology in all of dance and build upon what they have learned if they have danced prior. Some of our Acrobatic lovers prefer to add the one hour Acrobatic class.
