WHAT IS THE CONTINUOUS CHILDREN'S DANCE PROGRAM:
The specialty Aurora Dance Arts Continuous Children's Dance Program is progressive dance education for students, ages 3 to 19. It consists of a comprehensive, 9-month program, with classes currently in: ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, contemporary, choreography, dance conditioning, poms, tumbling/acro/floorwork and hip hop. Highly qualified instructors implement an established syllabus for beginning through advanced level classes designed to grow with dancers through childhood and adolescence. This program is intended to provide dance education for the diverse community of the city of Aurora and welcomes any students interested in training for both physical and emotional growth/fulfillment.
Students in the Continuous Program take dance classes from September-May, parallel to the school year. The Continuous Dance Year culminates with large-scale Spring Dance Recitals, in which dancers get to learn dance choreography, wear a costume and 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 and levels offered, availability of classes and pricing. The Dance Office will also place your family on the required monthly payment plan and process payment for your costume fees.
Children are placed in classes based on age, ability and 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 and the best interest of the student.
VERY IMPORTANT - Students should always expect to spend 2-3 years in any given level/style in this program for proper development and mastery of skills required for progression to the next level.
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].
LOCATIONS:
Aurora Dance Arts classes take place at various city of Aurora facilities: Expo, Meadowood and Central Rec Centers. Due to studio availability, the bulk of the Continuous Dance Program is located at Expo and Meadowood Rec Centers with supplementary offerings at Central Rec Center.
