Dance
Dance training encourages young people to develop a positive self-image as they increase awareness of their physical being. Along with improving coordination skills and developing muscular awareness, dance gives children the freedom to express themselves through movement. We are committed to providing high-quality dance classes to enhance the overall development of the child with nurturing teachers and a student-centered environment.
The highest educational standards are expected from all Mountain Dance faculty members. They are lifelong learners who continue to educate themselves through certification programs, teacher-training schools, conferences, and other learning opportunities.
For decades Mountain Kids has been a leader in dance education through our dance classes and programs. We believe that our success comes as a result of providing solid training and quality service, as well as our underlying belief in the strength of our organization.
We take our roles as a mentors and teachers in your child’s life very seriously. It is our objective to inspire a passion for the art of dance in every child who passes through our doors. In the process, we strive to set the right example and help your child (and you) create memories that will last a lifetime.
