WELCOME TO STUDIO G DANCE
The Studio G dance program provides quality dance instruction for children ages 3 and up. Our program provides a friendly and energetic setting where children develop dancing skills, learn about the art of dance, and have fun! In addition to learning fun dance movements, dancers learn proper technique, coordination, style, and musicality. Our students experience the joy of accomplishment, increased self-esteem, and personal expression through dance. The finale of each school year, our dance recital, showcases much of what the dancers learn throughout the year. Performing on stage in spectacular costumes is an amazing and rewarding experience. The Studio G dance program has been affiliated with Pinecrest Schools for the past 15 years. Children must be enrolled at Pinecrest Schools to participate in this dance program. We look forward to a new and exciting year!
