Saturday Academy (Level I)

What is the Saturday Academy Program?

Students who have completed Dancing Classrooms in their schools are invited to participate in Arts in Motion’s Saturday Academy program, in which they can continue their ballroom dance education.

Saturday Academy Level I is one hour per week on Saturday mornings, 10:00-11:00 am. Students have several performance opportunities during and immediately following the course. Dancers are asked to wear the same type of elegant clothing they wore to their school showcase. After completing two sessions of Level I, students move to Level II, Youth Ballroom.
