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.
Instructors: Pam Shapiro, Piper Birney, Cassie Malloy, Myia Chappell, Kim Corona Charron, Hannah Leon, Izzy Steinberg, Cece Torres
Schedule subject to change based on availability and enrollment. Payment plan available. Missed classes can be made up by attending another class of the same age.
Pre-Ballet/Progressive Movement: An introduction to ballet learning through play and imaginative games.
Ballet: The most important foundation for all dance; teaches core body positioning and balance through technique and discipline.
Jazz: A fun, upbeat way to master Broadway-style steps, turns, leaps, jumps and kicks!
Hip Hop: Let loose and have fun with music video-style modern day jazz!
Tap: Learn footwork and rhythm, with many steps and variations.
Lyrical/Modern: Created from the fusion of ballet with jazz and contemporary/modern dance technique.
