Dance Schools in Riverhead

Dance Schools in Riverhead, New York

In addtional to other cultural and social opportunities Riverhead, New York also has two dance schools of note ( meaning they have a studio, website, and have established credentials ).

The first is the Red Dancers school, and they are the oldest around, or the main foundation block of dance in Riverhead. They offer Ballet, Modern, Jazz, at times Tap, and other features when they become either popular, or when a teacher is available to teach it ( IE Hip Hop ).

The teaching staff is community established, and the students are encouraged to participated in festivals and competitions. This makes them a main and established dance school.

Following this record is East End Ballroom of Latin Dance School.

Here you will be able to take what is considered to be the main core of the social dances. Presently, this school's appearances on the internet is realitively new, and there is no writings which is attributable to either the school or its staff of teachers. Nevertheless, they did accomblish the minimum to be mentioned here. Moreover, I would like someone who has taken classes to leave a comment about this school and teaching staff.
