Adult Dance Classes

Fall & Winter

adults - back to dance!

18 Yr Olds+

Did you dance as a child or participate in your high school dance program? If so, it’s time to lace up your dance shoes and join us for an Adult Back-to-Dance Class! Former Zeeland High School dance teacher Mrs. Nancy (Rhodes) Clyde will help you rediscover the joy of dancing in a fun and welcoming environment. Classes will primarily feature jazz and contemporary styles, with a little musical theatre and hip hop mixed in along the way. Ballet technique will also be incorporated to support and strengthen the other styles. Each class includes a warm-up, conditioning, across-the-floor work, and a new combination to learn each week. Attend every class or simply drop in whenever your schedule allows. This class is designed for advanced-beginners to intermediate dancers who have some previous experience… even if that experience was 20+ years ago! Modifications will be provided to make movements more or less challenging, so you can participate at your own comfort level. Beyond the physical benefits of burning calories, improving flexibility, building strength, and enhancing posture and coordination, this class is about something even more important: finding joy, reconnecting with a passion, and building community. Grab your old dance friends (or come make some new ones) and join us. All experience levels are welcome!

Gather your friends and step into an introductory ballet class that focuses on the fundamentals of ballet movement. We begin each session with gentle floor-barre, easing into alignment, strength, and posture work from the very start. Then, we transition to standing barre and progress to center-floor exercises, combining graceful arm movements, balance challenges, and dynamic traveling steps across the floor. You’ll build solid foundational technique while enjoying a full-body workout in a fun, welcoming environment. Perfect for developing dance skills, boosting fitness, and fun!
