About
Naperville Park District Dance Academy offers classes in ballet, hip hop, modern, jazz, and tap. Students learn about dance and appreciation of the art in addition to steps and technique. Dance programs fall into two categories: seasonal programs and recital track.
• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Schedule: Seasonal programs typically are held once a week for several weeks, and recital track programs begin in the fall and run for nine months.
Programs are carefully constructed to provide learning environments that are fun and professional, technical and creative. Seasonal program participants do not perform in the annual spring dance recital, and parents are able to observe their student's progress at the last class of the seasonal program session. Recital track participants perform in the annual spring recital, and students in recital track receive a dance costume for the recital. Specific dance attire is required in order to participate in the classes. The program is taught by qualified, experienced instructors. Élan Dance Company provides a foundation in dance performance and experience participating in a dance company, offers competitive and performance-only teams, and participates in several performances throughout the year. The mission of the Naperville Park District Dance Academy is to provide quality dance training to interested students of all ages, youth through adult. This award certifies that the Naperville Park District has been an IAPD member since 1968.
