  • Junior Jazzercise

    The strong exercise habits kids develop now can go a long way in shaping their future. That’s why Junior Jazzercise teaches things like coordination, strength and endurance, nutrition, and the importance of physical fitness. Kids ages 6 to 11 experience the joy of physical movement as they dance their way through specially choreographed age-appropriate routines to today’s most popular music.

• Junior Jazzercise

  Junior Jazzercise is a perfect program to get kids active and learn the importance of exercise and health. These classes for kids combine fun, easy-to-follow dance moves to popular music, fitness games, and light strength training. The non-competitive atmosphere is the perfect setting to introduce your child to fitness. Children are not required to have any dance experience. Some locations offer Team Dance, a segment of dance classes for kids 12-years-old and up. These classes combines aerobic conditioning and strength training, with the fun of traditional dance class choreography. This format devotes more time to learning choreography and refining dance movements than in our Junior Jazzercise class. All levels are welcome.

  • Kid’s Dance Classes

    Available for children ages 6-11 and 12-18-years old. Each hour long class consists of an exercise aerobics segment, a game segment focusing on exercise and nutrition, and a dance segment to basic choreography.
