The stated goal of the program is: “Our goal is to provide a quality dance program where students learn to dance in an environment that is stimulating and exciting, while at the same time safe, warm, and welcoming. We believe in the physical, emotional, cognitive and social benefits of dance, and we personally place students in age and level appropriate classes where they will feel challenged, encouraged, joyful and ultimately successful in their pursuit of learning to dance.” Happy Feet Dance School is proud to serve the Marin County dance and performing arts community.
