Overview

Ballet Dancer

Dance for Fun began in the fall of 1995 at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. Our program is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of children through dance, providing a supportive environment that emphasizes self-esteem, personal growth and structured learning.

Dance helps develop lifelong skills—building confidence, strength, coordination and, most importantly, discipline.

For more information, email Dance For Fun Program Coordinator Nicole Kochar.
