DANCE CLASSES
Marlon is our long-time dance teacher and a former professional dancer. He is an experienced instructor who is passionate about working with children and is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing learning environment. This class is very low-stakes and does not have a competitive nature. We look forward to seeing everyone on the dance floor!
Pop & Hip-Hop Dance Classes
Pop & Hip Hop Dance with Marlon is the perfect class for kids who love to dance to their favorite music! This high-energy class focuses on fun, while teaching kids exciting dance routines to today’s top pop and hip hop hits (clean versions!). Each week, Marlon will break down the moves step by step, helping kids build confidence, coordination, and rhythm, all while dancing to the songs they know and love.
By the end of the session, your child will have learned a full dance routine, which they’ll perform in a casual showcase for friends and family on the last day of class. Plus, on that final day, participants can bring a friend for free to join the fun and watch the performance.
