Dance Classes
As part of our Legacy Enrichment Afterschool Program, River School will begin offering dance classes to all students, girls and boys, in grades K-8th during the week of November 21. These classes will be offered at NO CHARGE for any of our students.
- Classes will be offered once a week for each grade level and will cover ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop instruction.
- Students that participate in the classes will be able to perform in a “professional” dance recital at the end of the school year.
- Students may come in comfortable clothes such as sweatpants, shorts, cotton pants, etc.. If you would like to purchase a leotard, leggings, and/or dance skirt or tutu, for your child these can be found at Target or Walmart. These are NOT required to participate.
- Students should wear “hospital socks” – socks with sticky bubbles on the bottom, bare feet, or ballet shoes. Ballet shoes are NOT required. If you would like to purchase them they can be found at Payless or purchased from Connie Cassidy Dance Studio for about $20. More information will be provided after the first few weeks of class.
- Ms. Melanie Findlay, a dance instructor from the Connie Cassidy School of dance, will be our new dance program teacher. She comes to us with many years of experience and a great deal of enthusiasm.
- The first week will be an introduction to classes. Students will have an opportunity to experience dance class and demonstrate their skills, ability and enthusiasm.

- Monday, 3-4 p.m.: 4th & 5th grade
- Tuesday, 3-4 p.m.: 2nd & 3rd grade
- Wednesday, 3-4 p.m.: Kindergarten & 1st grade
