South Shore Conservatory's Dance Department Enrolling for Fall

South Shore Conservatory’s (SSC) Dance Department is accepting registrations for 2016/17 classes. This department offers a full range of classical ballet classes for children ages three and up, and hip hop for ages five through eleven.

Providing a positive and nurturing atmosphere for their students, SSC’s dance faculty creates an individualized experience for each dancer within the classroom setting. Whether they are exploring dance as recreation or wishing to pursue their training to the pre-professional level, all students are given the foundation of quality ballet training. New this year, SSC’s popular Hip Hop class, originally designed for children five through eight, expands to include children up to eleven.

SSC is proud to include the American Ballet Theatre® (ABT) National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough nine-level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT ®National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels.

Placement classes for students ages eight and up, with previous ballet experience, will be held August 2, 2016 and August 25, 2016. Please contact Nancy Meredith at 781-934-2731, ext. 11 to register for a placement class.
