Summer dance class for 15-year-old

June 2007

Looking for summer dance classes for 15 year old girl with several years of dance experience mostly in enthnic dances of middle east. She is interested in exploring other dance forms (Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, etc.) Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Cerrito Dance Art on Kearney at Potrero is a great little studio. Maryse Young teaches tap (for adults as well as kids) as well as jazz and ballet, her college age son will be teaching a tap/jazz class this summer, and her mother teaches a class in Hawaiian dance for adults. They're all excellent dancers and great teachers. I highly recommend it. got my tap shoes

My daughter stopped competitive ice-skating and wants to start dancing, she likes modern dance especially, but is interested in all kind of dancing. Does anybody recommend a good dance institute in Berkeley? Thank you! anon

My daughter took dance at Destiny Arts when she was younger and really liked it. They have hip hop, modern and african dance, and martial arts. Here is their website and phone number. http://www.destinyarts.org. (510) 597-1619. Nadja

Dance class for 16-year-old novice

Aug 2002

Can any recommend a place for a 16 1/2 year old to do ballet or jazz dance? She has very little experience and is currently more than a bit out of shape ( actually she is heavy) but a long time ago used to do some ballet and has a real gift for movement ( modern would be probably the best for her, given that she is not long legged , but she says she prefers ballet or jazz). Thanks for any suggestions. Suzanne

My daughters have been taking a class in swing, salsa,walze, etc for months now at Julia Morgan on College Ave. It is a fun class with a great instructor. The population has been up and down, and right now it is down. We could use some students in the class. The class for teenagers meets at 7:00 PM Friday. Adults meet at 8:00 PM. The class is $5 for the kids. I don't know how much he charges for the adults. Go down the walkway on the south side of the building. Up the brick steps. It is the studio on your left. Try it out!

A senior girl recommends swing dancing classes in response to the "Advice Needed" mom who is interested for some social dancing classes for her son. Visit http://www.zootsuitswank.com. There's a live band every Sunday night at Live Oak Park Rec Center, 6:30 for the class, dance begins at 7:30. $9 includes the lesson ($6 after 7:30). All ages welcome, but late teens through 20's predominate. Michael (April 2000)
