Here at Dance Expressions, we offer a variety of dance classes starting from the age of four to eighteen years of age!
Our season begins in August of each year and runs through to the first week of June. Each dancer will have the opportunity to participate in our annual end of the year performance. This show is thoroughly enjoyed by other dancers, parents, and many others.
For the academy program, all class placements are based on the dancer's rising grade level. Each dancer must meet the grade level cutoff by September 1st, in accordance with the state of Georgia school cutoff.
