PBD Stars Kids Programs
For Dancers Ages 2-3rd Grade
Kids move, shake and imagine as they explore the joy of movement in PBD’s STARS dance program. Stars dancers can capture the hearts of audience members on a Stars Performing Team where they will learn a choreographed dance and participate in performance opportunities throughout the year and/or choose to groove in an Explore Movement Class. Stars 2nd-3rd grade will explore the fundamental dance skills of ballroom dancing in the Explore Technique class.
