THE CONTINUOUS CHILDREN'S DANCE PROGRAM
We're back and ready for a brand new dance year with the exciting news that this is also the 50th Anniversary Season of Aurora Dance Arts!
The schedule & information for the 2023-24 season of the Continuous Dance Program is posted in the buttons below. Classes will start September 5. We will look forward to connecting with you at the end of July & into August to get you started for a fun-filled school year of dance!
What is the Continuous Children's Dance Program:
The Aurora Dance Arts Continuous Children’s Dance Program is progressive dance education for students, ages 3 to 20 years, and consists of a comprehensive, nine-month program with classes currently in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, choreography, conditioning, poms, tumble/acrobatics/floorwork & hip hop. Highly qualified instructors implement an established syllabus for beginning through advanced level dance classes designed to grow with your child. This program is designed to provide dance education for the diverse community of the city of Aurora and welcomes any students interested in training in dance for both physical and emotional growth and fulfillment.
Students in the Continuous Program take dance classes from September-May, parallel to the school year. The Continuous Dance Year culminates with a large-scale Spring Dance Recital, in which dancers get to learn dance choreography, wear a costume & perform for a live audience on stage!
Registration and Class Placement:
All Continuous Dance Program registrations must be processed by calling the Dance Office at 303.326.8308.
Registration for Continuous Dance is NOT available online.
The Dance Office provides information regarding dance styles & levels offered, availability of classes & pricing. The Dance Office will also place your family on the required monthly payment plan & process payment for your costume fees.
Children are placed in classes based on age, ability & technique level. Classes are arranged sequentially so that each student progresses safely, without gaps in training, and are well-prepared for the next technique level. Instructors may recommend a transfer to another class (up or down a level) based on ability & the best interest of the student. Students should expect to spend 2-3 years in any given level/style in this program for proper training & development.
*IMPORTANT: If your child was enrolled in the Continuous Dance Program last year, you will be receiving an e-mail from the Dance Office on Wednesday, July 19, detailing the level recommendation/s from your child's teacher/s for the appropriate level/s for the upcoming year. Once you have your child's level placements, you can re-consult the schedule to plan what classes you would like to take this year.
If this will be your first time in the Continuous Program, the Dance Office is happy to help you with correct level placement for your child. You may inquire about level placement by calling the Dance Office at 303.326.8308 or by e-mailing [email protected].
