Adult & Teen Dance Classes
At NorthEast Dance Center we believe dance is for everyone! Throughout the year we offer short-term and full-season (September-May) dance classes for teens and adults. We know life can be busy so all our teen and adult classes are available as "drop-in," where each class is paid for upon arrival with cash, credit card, or a drop-in punch card (discounted class rates). Feel free to register normally as well, but know that individual classes will be non-refundable. We offer optional performance opportunities as well, so come take class to learn a new skill, stay in shape, get back into dancing, or to get back on the stage!
