Mission Statement:
Dance
on Hudson offers a
curriculum with a modern dance base, offering a full expressive range
to nurture the spirit. Ballet is included to supplement technique. As
students progress within the school, different styles of modern and
jazz are introduced for variety, and to promote the well rounded
dancer. Opportunities for creative expression are offered as
appropriate. Both Performance Group and choreography class are
available to students willing to make more of a commitment to dance by
taking several classes a week.
