EVERYBODY DANCE

Our classes include tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop and more. These offerings will help our youth develop coordination and boost confidence. The village nurtures passion and creativity while teaching children dance fundamentals.

Ballet at the Simeon Alumni Village Hall is an introduction to the classical and modern dance styles for our youth. With ballet positions, terminology, basic steps, barre work, and floor work, this class furthers our youth’s understanding of dance fundamentals, expression through movement, and graceful poise.

In our fast-paced Jazz dance classes, we'll incorporate swing, African, hip-hop, salsa, and even a touch of ballet. Each week brings new moves and a new combination with its own unique approach. Our Hip-Hop classes will get your child up and moving and having fun! These classes will introduce dancers to the basic footwork, rhythms, musicality, and history of Hip-hop in a casual, friendly environment.

This lively class introduces our youth to one of Chicago's most energetic dance traditions. Attendees will shuffle, hop, and step-ball-change to many different musical styles and discover all the joys of tapping!

Learn fundamental dance steps and terminology, and use movement games and activities to learn combinations and encourage creativity. As our youth progresses through the program, more challenging steps and combinations are introduced along with some dance history.
