Belisama Dance Classes

Summer 2012 Classes

Updated May 4, 2012.

For fees, registration, or class placement please call 670-2152 or email belisamadance@aol.com.

Contemporary sessions run June 4-30 and July 23-August 3

Kick Start Classes (ballet, jazz, modern)

For beginning dancers of all ages. The classes offer a reassuring format in which new dancers practice with their peers rather than much younger children or older adults. They are designed for students who wish to explore across genres, including ballet, modern, and jazz. Grouped according to age, Kick Start classes are also a perfect fit for young dancers practicing at Level 1 or 2 and older dancers looking for a refresher.
