YOUTH DANCE
Does your child like to dance? If fun and high energy is your child's preference - check out Hip Hop and Tap. Or maybe the beauty of ballet is more your child's style. No matter the form of dance, we allow her/him to do what she/he loves from basic dance skills to competitive performance team. Evergreen Park & Recreation District's dance is done in partnership with Evergreen Dance Center.
You must first contact the Evergreen Dance Center before enrolling online. Contact via phone at 303-670-7221 or by emailing the Center to get your dancer placed into class.
