This free summer dance program at St. John’s Cathedral is for students entering grades 3-5 and features two sessions. Students are welcome to register for both sessions. No previous dance experience is necessary. Students should wear comfortable clothing they can easily move in. Families are invited to attend a Friday performance to see what their students have learned throughout the week! 

Session 1 | Ballet 

Dates: June 19-23  

In this session, students will enhance their coordination, balance and flexibility through basic ballet techniques including barre, across-the-floor and center combinations. The week will end with a performance showcasing what the students learned. 

Session 2 | Hip-Hop
