Recreational Dance Classes in Burlington
Creative Edge Dance Studio offers recreational dance classes in Burlington for kids, teens and adults in a fun, welcoming environment. Dancers can explore popular styles including jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary and acro dance, along with Creative Movement for our youngest dancers. Our recreational program gives students the opportunity to build their skills, confidence and love of dance without the higher time commitment of competitive dance.
A Perfect Start for New & Recreational Dancers
From young children discovering dance for the first time to teens and adults looking to develop their skills, our recreational dance program welcomes a range of ages and experience levels. Classes move at an enjoyable pace that keeps dance fun while helping students improve their technique, coordination, musicality and confidence.
Many dancers begin at the recreational level to learn foundational dance technique, experience performing on stage and become part of a team. Along the way, students develop coordination, commitment, teamwork and social skills while building their abilities as dancers.
Our recreational dance season runs from September through June, giving students the opportunity to learn, grow and prepare for our year-end recital.
WINTER REGISTRATION AVAILABLE!
Classes begin January 2027! Choose from a variety of styles including Jazz, Acro, Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop & more! Ages 18 months to Adult!
