A FREE weekly class for elementary aged children (ages 6-9) that builds self-confidence and self-esteem through fun dance based exercises. Drawing from a wide range of dance techniques, ConfiDANCE! encourages a child's development of skills like coordination and musicality while building a sense of accomplishment, achievement and self-worth. Let's celebrate our creativity and have some fun in ConfiDANCE!

As with any progressive syllabus, each session builds on the principles of the previous week, therefore attendance to all sessions is recommended.

Parents/Guardians will register for the class under their names and emails, a form will be sent out one week prior to the start of the session to collect information about the student that will participate. email classes@smuinballet.org

This program is held in large part through a gracious grant from SF Rotary Club in partnership with Smuin Center for Dance.
