Find Your Dance Style
Beginner classes are where strong foundations begin. Designed for dancers ages 6 -18 who are new to dance, these classes provide a positive, supportive introduction to each style while building technique, coordination, musicality and confidence. With a variety of disciplines to choose from, dancers can discover what they enjoy and build from there.
At EDF, dancers can choose the number and variety of classes that suit their interests and level of commitment. There is no required combination or minimum number of classes needed to participate in competitions. All full-year classes run from September through June and perform in our Year-End Recital, with most classes also having the opportunity to perform at local festivals and competitions in the spring.
The classes listed below are designed for beginners. If your dancer has previous experience, please contact us and we would be happy to help find the class that best fits their age and current level.
One-hour classes are $84/month. Please contact us for multiple-class, family and additional pricing.
