Dance Journeys®, the signature program at Jeté Dance Centre, is a unique dance program for children ages 3-teens, connecting dance to the world we live in. At the beginning of this delightful journey, young children are engaged in imaginary adventures as they learn fundamentals of dance. As advanced students progress along the journey, elements of the previous adventures are used to inspire technical and artistic excellence in dance.
In all classes, students are encouraged to discover and explore their own creativity while they develop physically as well-trained dancers in ballet, tap, jazz and hip-hop.
