The SDD ages 12 & up program consists of individual subject classes that encourage creativity and individuality while building a strong foundation in dance!  Dancers continue with further skill and technique development in classes designed for their age, maturity and training level.  Our classes emphasize the development of rhythm, movement, style and coordination in a fun, inspiring class setting.  Dancers gain confidence, discipline, self-expression, creativity and lifelong friendships.   

Classes are single subject and range from 45 minute to an hour long, based on subject and level.  We recommend dancers take classes in the core subjects of dance - ballet, jazz, tap.  Dancers at this age can also train in acrobatics, lyrical, heels and hip hop.  Flexible scheduling allows you to select a class for your child's interest that works with your busy family schedule.  Many classes are also offered back to back, so dancers can participate in two classes with only one trip to the studio a week.  Dancers can register to train in one subject or several for a well-rounded weekly schedule. 

All Senior Advanced level class registrations will be reviewed by our Faculty.  Please note these are advanced training classes for the serious dancer.  We will verify your previous training and skill level to be sure of correct placement in this program. 



Each class will perform a dance in one of our Spring Recitals held in early June at the Palace Theatre in Lockport.
