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 "drop-in," where each class is paid for upon arrival with cash, credit card, or a drop-in punch card (discounted class rates). 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!
Our Summer 2024 class schedule is below. Teens & Adults may register for a full session or just drop-in as it fits your schedule (see rates below). Online Registration is open year-round for Teen/Adult Classes Click here to register. Want to just try a class before you register? Drop us a note and let us know you're dropping in to one class. We can't wait to dance with you!
