What makes Barefoot Dance different?

Barefoot Dance Productions specializes in offering dance classes that are small in size, personalized, with emphasis on technique and maintaining the student’s own creativity.

Contemporary/Modern dance has traditionally only been taught at the college or university level. However, after studying with an international Modern and Hip Hop teaching/examining organization, Barefoot Dance is proud to offer classes in Contemporary/Modern dance starting at age 6. Children’s Hip Hop starting at age 6 is also offered.

Examinations are available in Ballet. Barefoot Dance has already had adult ballet students very successfully complete exams at intermediate and senior levels. They have fun, but also a goal to work towards.
