Pop-Up Dance Enrichment Program
The Arts Academy at St. Mary’s is excited to offer a special end-of-year Pop-Up Dance Enrichment Program for students in Pre-K through Grade 1! This fun, eight-week experience introduces young dancers to a new style of dance each week while building confidence, creativity, and a love of movement.
Students will explore a variety of age-appropriate styles such as creative movement, ballet basics, jazz, hip-hop, musical theatre, and more. Each session focuses on rhythm, coordination, expression, and having fun in a supportive environment.
At the conclusion of the program, families will be invited to a small showcase performance, where participating students will have the opportunity to share what they’ve learned. This informal presentation is a wonderful way to celebrate their creativity and growth.
