Recreational Programmes
This is where the journey begins!
​
Goddards offers the beginning student recreational dance classes with a focus on the technical development of skills, in an enjoyable and co-operative environment. Dance is our passion, and we strive to instill a love of it within each student while increasing their self-confidence and understanding of teamwork. Recreational dance involves any type of dancing intended primarily for social, educational, or health reasons. At Goddards, our recreational program offers classes in genres of Acro, Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz and Tap for anyone ages 18 month - Adult.
​
Each age group and level of student can find a class to suit their needs at the studio. In December, parents are invited to our open house where the students display and perform what they have learned. For children, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn self-confidence and performance skills. For parents, it's a wonderful opportunity to take photos and videos. As spring approaches, the groups begin preparing the dances that they will showcase at their year-end recital.
We offer students the choice of continuing in recreational dance while advancing with their skill level, or moving on to an intensive competitive dance program if they are selected.
