What ages do you teach?
Classes are available for pre-schoolers (age 3.5 - 4) upwards. Due to DANCEnergy being a brand new dance school at the start of 2013, an age bracket was necessary to plan classes, however as the children at DANCEnergy get older we will continue to teach them for as long as they wish to attend class.
