Ballroom Dancing After-School Program at Kenter

The Ballroom Dancing After-School Program is OPEN FOR NEW ENROLLMENT for this Spring Semester! 💃🕺

It is a great opportunity for students to learn dance fundamentals, collaborate with their peers, and practice dances such as Cha Cha, Waltz, Tango, Samba, Foxtrot, and more, and participate in the showcase performance for the school community in May!

Ballroom Dancing is a classical dance form where students learn not only technique and steps, but also etiquette and social skills for life!

Classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays at 3 pm! Ages 5-11 y.o. (Both girls and boys are welcome). The dance education system is customized to each individual student, with steps and techniques tailored for both first-timers and continuing students.

All classes are taught by Miss Christina Androsenko, the US National Vice Champion and a world-class dancer from the So You Think You Can Dance TV show.

Every child deserves high-quality programs that spark imagination, build real-life skills, and help them discover who they are and what they love. In all our TK–5th grade programs, learning is hands-on, exploratory, and filled with wonder.
