The Claire School of Dance offers classes for children ages 2½ through adults. Our Early Childhood Program, for children 2 ½ through six, provides a developmentally appropriate dance education for the very young dancer. Our Level classes, for students 7 and older, offer formal instruction in classical ballet, modern, and hip hop. Classes in ballet are based on the National Training Curriculum of the American Ballet Theatre.

In addition to our Boys Program and child tap classes, we also offer classes in adult ballet and adult tap classes.

Registration in classes toddler through Level I is based on age. Registration in classes Level II and above require permission from the School administration. Enrollment in the Children's Program is ongoing through January 31st. Students with no previous experience must enroll prior to January 31st unless joining a newly-created beginner class. Please contact the School office for questions regarding placement.

In order to provide quality instruction, our classes are limited to 10-12 students.

A selection of our classes are offered in our Summer Session.
