As Dance Leelanau continues to grow, so has its various program offerings this year.
With the addition of more youth ballet classes to accommodate both the growing number of students and increasing skill levels of existing students, the group will also offer a new adult beginning ballet class and a musical theatre dance class for ages 10-14.
“We’ve just been steadily expanding — so it’s very exciting,” said Caitlin Watkins, one of the Dance Leelanau teachers. “The musical theatre dance class is a fun culmination because it uses ballet and jazz and tap — so anything to tell the story with all different dance styles, and I think it will be a really engaging, super fun class… We also have a beginning ballet II class, which is for ages 9-12, so we’re edging up older and older.”
