School of Dance

 
The Mandell JCC dance program offers an inclusive and comfortable environment for your child, regardless of abilities, to enjoy the art of dance through movement, technique and music.  We have two program tracks within our school for those children who are interested in the recreational program and those children who are interested in a full year program, culminating with a year-end performance.  Choose the track that best fits your child’s needs and interests. 


Our dance program offers classes in movement, ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern and musical theater for all levels, ages 2 and older.  We even offer Adult dance classes!


If you are interested in a program that we do not currently offer, please let us know.  With enough interest, we can add classes to our program roster.  For more information, contact Kim Corona Charron, kcharron@mandelljcc.org.
