2026-27 Enrollment
Welcome to Our 2026–2027 Dance Season!
Hello Dancers Workshop Families,
We are so excited to welcome both returning and new dancers to another wonderful year at Dancers Workshop! Whether your child is taking their very first dance class or continuing their training with us, we are honored to be part of their journey.
At Dancers Workshop, our goal is to provide every dancer with a positive, engaging, and appropriately challenging experience. As you browse our class offerings, please note that beginning in 2nd grade and above, classes with the same title may not be identical in level. While classes may share a title, they are often designed for different experience levels, technical backgrounds, and training goals.
If you’re unsure which class is the best fit for your dancer, we’re happy to help! Our staff can make personalized recommendations based on previous experience, current training, age, goals, and developmental readiness. We can also arrange an evaluation when appropriate.
Most importantly, please know that our team is committed to helping every dancer find a class where they can feel confident, successful, and inspired. If we believe a different placement would better support your child’s growth after classes begin, we’ll reach out and work with your family to make any needed adjustments.
We can’t wait to dance with you this season and appreciate you trusting us with your child’s dance education.
Warmly,
Shannon Orosco
Director, Dancers Workshop
