INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED DANCER
Are you looking for dance classes for your teenager? The Sapphire level dance class allows our dancers to choose a style of dance to focus on: such as ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, or lyrical. Dancers at this level can also register for solo or duo private classes in their chosen style of dance.
Dancers at the Sapphire level can be beginners, or if they have been in dance for many years of their childhood – they are learning to master previous dance skills and learn more complex choreography. Evolve Dance does have competitive teams at this level as well, so your dancer will have the option to be involved in our competition team.
The benefits of dance classes at this age go beyond just learning to dance. At this age, your children are learning so many life skills while having fun. Dance classes can help your child build new friendships, develop their social skills, and help our students build confidence in themselves as they master new choreography and dance moves.
Evolve Dance Studio is located in Rockford, Michigan and we have students from all over the Grand Rapids area.
