RECREATIONAL Ages 5-15

Set your child up for success!  Beginning Level 1-2 students will learn proper technique, musicality and how to master the fundamentals.

Intermediate Level 3-4 students will focus on growing their technical foundation, exploring and expanding on their movement quality.

While this is a non-competitive program, this is an excellent start for dancers looking to bridge into our competitive program.  This program does not mean your dancer is obligated in anyway to move into our competitive program nor can we guarantee placement for dancer’s auditioning. 

Students in this program will be invited to perform at our two annual student showcases.

Dance teaches your child valuable skills they will use in every aspect of their lives.  We believe every Avanti student whether training recreationally or competitively deserves excellence in their dance education while still having fun and growing as an individual.

Curriculum Includes: Ballet, Jazz. Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Acro/Tumbling
