At Dance Republic, we offer a wide variety of dance classes for all ages and experience levels! Class placement is at the discretion of our directors to ensure each dancer is in the best environment for their growth and success.

Our age groups are approximate—if your dancer falls between age groups or you’re unsure which class is the best fit, please reach out, and we’ll be happy to help you find the perfect class!

All classes will perform one dance in both our Holiday Production and Spring Recital unless otherwise noted. We can’t wait to dance with you!
