Rhythm Builders
9-11 Years

Levels A,B,C

Our Rhythm Builders classes are in high demand because we offer a range of levels designed to meet each dancer where they are. Tailored to fit every student’s unique needs, our levels ensure the perfect balance of challenge and support.

For dancers ages 9-11, we offer Levels A-C, carefully assigned by our professional and experienced teaching staff. When determining level placements, we consider factors such as dance experience, skill level, work ethic, and attendance. This thoughtful approach helps us provide an engaging and rewarding experience for every dancer.

If you're enrolling a dancer aged 9 or older, please contact the studio prior to registration for an appropriate level assignment. We also offer free trial classes to ensure the level is the right fit before committing. Alternatively, you can schedule a leveling session with one of our instructors in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Contact us for more information or to arrange a free trial or leveling session.

Short Sessions for Ages 9-11 (Levels A-C)

We understand that committing to a full school-year dance program might feel like a big decision—especially as your dancer is exploring new interests and activities. That’s why we offer flexible 8-week short-session dance classes designed specifically for ages 9-11. These sessions are the perfect way for your preteen to try something new, build skills, and stay active—without the pressure of a long-term commitment. Whether they're new to dance or looking to add variety to their training, short sessions let them explore different styles and discover what they truly enjoy. If they love it (and we think they will!), continuing is easy—you can sign up for additional short sessions or transition into our regular season classes whenever it’s the right fit. Our class offerings for this age group are always evolving to keep things fresh, challenging, and fun. Click the link below to see what exciting new classes we’re currently offering for ages 9-11! Short Session classes do not perform in the Nutcracker Tea or Spring Recital.

Summer Camps & Classes

During the summer at Danceworks, we’re focused on helping dancers ages 9-11 build confidence, creativity, and strong technique—all while having fun and making new friends! Our camps and weekly classes are designed to keep preteens engaged, inspired, and moving all summer long.

One of the highlights of the season is our Wicked-themed Dancing Through Life Dance Camp. Dancers will step into the world of Oz, learning exciting choreography, exploring character-driven movement, and building their stage presence. Throughout the week, they'll boost their confidence, strengthen their skills, and finish off with a show-stopping performance for family and friends!

Looking for weekly classes? We also offer a variety of summer dance classes in styles like ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop—perfect for dancers who want to stay sharp, try something new, or continue their training during the summer months.
