CURRICULUM

Sherri's Dance Center offers combination classes for young children and teens. Each combo class consists of one-hour ballet, one part tap, and one part jazz. For younger students, jazz is substituted with creative movement. As students progress modern dance is added to the curriculum. We feel that a well-rounded curriculum can better prepare a serious dance student! As each student begins to develop and grow, decisions on specializing with a specific dance form can be added to their weekly schedule. We also offer single classes. Please refer to the schedule below.
