RECREATIONAL CLASSES:

Our classes are open to any dancer interested in learning new skills and proper technique while having fun! We believe that taking dance classes from an early age can help children connect with (and develop) their bodies and minds. We believe that confident kids turn into confident adults. At Dance Kraze Dance Studio, we don't just teach a dance. We offer programs that promote growth and give our dancers the ultimate dance experience.

All Dance Kraze dance students are given the opportunity to participate in our year end recital where they get to wear cool costumes, perform for an audience of friends and family, and have the chance to be a star!
