It’s new and it’s all happening right here at Wolf PAC!
Dance classes for Pre-K to 12th grade!
Our Dance Philosophy
Wolf PAC strives to provide students the opportunity to grow in all aspects of theatrical performance, and we are excited to now include The Dance Studio as a part of our offerings.
Wolf PAC encourages a strong foundation of movement basics and helps students find comfort moving within their body type. The goal is that no matter their skill level, students find the confidence to perform choreographed pieces with storytelling and acting woven in to support the fundamentals of dance.
Our professional Teaching Artists who specialize in dance technique will offer foundational dance skills, build upon already existing skills, and aim to strengthen students’ overall dance knowledge. The Dance Studio offers dance technique in the safe, supportive, creative environment that embodies the Wolf PAC mission.
The Dance Studio at Wolf PAC provides performers the opportunity to improve their dance skills in a low pressure environment. It’s the perfect studio for performers of all levels.
Striving to help students unlock their full potential as triple threats, The Dance Studio will focus on musical theatre style dances of Broadway jazz and tap, with the fundamentals of ballet added for the youngest students. Dance classes are from September to May with breaks in between for holidays. All classes will perform in a final showcase in the Spring.

Dance is a foundation for musical theatre and the perfect way to build a student’s theatrical skills.
Combining dance with performances, private lessons or another Wolf PAC program allows for a well-rounded, balanced experience. For example, dance classes sharpen movement skills, boost confidence, and enhance overall stage presence for students who are already involved in our Performances.
The knowledge that students gain in weekly classes is easily translated into a rehearsal or lesson, allowing students to practice the skills they are gaining.
