At SoMD, we offer classes suitable for both beginners and experienced dancers who are either just starting their journey or looking to enhance their skills in a non-competitive environment.

All dancers have the opportunity to participate at the Year-End Showcase in June, where they can shine and showcase their progress on a big stage.

Our dancers can choose from a variety of classes, with the convenience of taking one or more classes of the same age group scheduled back-to-back.
Dancers can choose from styles that suit them best: HIP-HOP, JAZZ, TAP, BALLET, MUSICAL THEATER, AND ACRO!

We offer classes for dancers 2 and up.

The Recreational Program is designed for dancers with little to no previous dance experience who wish to join the Competitive Team in the future or are looking for a non-competitive and less intense environment.

If your goal is to join the Competitive Team, we recommend taking multiple classes each week.
