Dance
The Weinstein JCC School of Dance offers an exciting learning environment for students of all skill levels . Our program gives dancers the opportunity to learn and perform various types of professional dance in a small group setting with the option of a dance recital each spring .
Weinstein JCC preschool students are encouraged to participate . A Weinstein JCC employee will meet the children in the preschool and walk them to class and back to their preschool classroom . This is a great way for half-day preschool parents to extend their day or for full-day preschoolers to take advantage of these fun opportunities . Full-day preschoolers will return to the preschool after classes and be dismissed with regular preschool pick up procedures . Half-day students will be picked up by parents in the lobby at the end of classes . Staff will also coordinate pick up for Kids ’ Place participants .
