Classes
Chelsea Dance offers adult classes as well as child-centered classes where children are viewed as active participants who are strong, capable and can contribute based on their own experiences. Every child is celebrated for their own unique way of being in the world and are encouraged to discover their movement potential through inquiry, curiosity and play. Adult dancers with little or no experience are highly encouraged to join in the fun.
Our Fall session starts September 15, 2025, at La Fab sur Mill and Studio Danse Chelsea. Class prices vary by length and day (due to holidays and closures). Please create an account on the portal to view eligible classes, descriptions, fees, and locations based on year of birth.
