AACC Youth Dance Instruction Program

The Youth Dance Instruction program ("YDI") strives to offer a unique oppportunity for young dancers to experience the supportive, noncompetitive learning environment that has brought Anne Arundel Community College such high regard. 

We provide a healthy learning environment and focus on the students' ability to advance their knowledge, appreciation and ability in dance. Students will be given the opportunity to discover and develop their talents, energy and interest and to pursue their unique potentials as dancers.

The Youth Dance Instruction program is designed to focus on students ages four to seventeen. Enrollment is limited as the program is designed to ensure reasonably sized classes and a high degree of individual attention. 

The students will gain knowledge to develop and learn various dance techniques, styles, and dance-related activities. The thrust of the program is strictly educational, geared toward improving technique. Level of ability will be determined by the instructors of the YDI at the beginning of each session and the students will be placed accordingly.
