The Wood Dale Park District Dance Center strives to provide quality dance classes that promote confidence, self-esteem, and physical fitness in a fun and inclusive environment. Participating in Dance gives students the opportunity to socialize, develop rhythm, practice self-expression, and improve flexibility.
Dance classes are taught through Innovative Arts Connection. Connecting communities to creative arts–that is what we do at Innovation Arts Connection! Our progressive curriculum focuses on dance concepts and core techniques as well as teaching the importance of respect, positive attitude and hard work. In our classes students will develop grace, rhythm, coordination,
creativity, and confidence in a fun, safe and structured environment. IAC’s dance classes offer stability, a sense of community, socialization and structure. All classes are held at Wood Dale Park District Dance Center. We look forward to seeing you in class!
