Our Programs
Programs for every dancer...
Recreational Program
Our Recreational Program focuses on foundational technique, instilling a love of dance, and FUN! This program is a great stepping stone for dancers wanting to do more with dance in the future. Placement is based on age and grade level. In May, dancers perform in our annual Spring Recital.
Performance Team Program
Performance Teams are made for dancers who love to dance and are looking for a non-competitive way to do more! Dancers join us for placements in June to be put on a team where they will spend up to an hour a week working on jazz technique and pom routines. Each team gets the opportunity to perform in the community multiple times throughout the season and in our Spring Recital. Past opportunities have included the Hopkins Dance Show, Timberwolves Pre-Game Performances, Energy Dance Competition, and more!

Competitive Program
Competition Teams are designed for more serious, committed dancers looking to compete and be a part of a team-oriented environment. Required auditions take place in August so that dancers can be placed on a team based on their skill level and age. Each season, dancers participate in three to four regional competitions, as well as a national competition on a rotating schedule.

Ballet Program
At Dance West, we believe Ballet technique is essential. to become a well-rounded, technically proficient dancer. Ballet teaches discipline and builds confidence that transcends the studio. Classes are leveled based on our competition teams, who are required to take at least two ballet classes per week. We also offer leveled pointe classes for dancers who have been approved to dance en pointe by Miss Molly. Non-competitive dancers interested in becoming a part of the Dance West
Ballet Program can be assessed one-on-one with Miss Molly for placement into an appropriately leveled class.
