Adult Dance Classes at THD
Season 15 is bringing the heat with an amazing line up of Adult classes! Most classes run in 12–14 week sessions and are taught by our incredible in-house faculty. We’re excited to offer both beginner and experienced adult classes in Ballet, Tap, and Silver Swans — and NEW this season, Adult Hip Hop!
While most adult classes do not include costumes or year-end performances, if we have an enthusiastic group ready to hit the stage, we may add in a special performance opportunity!
