After School Classes

National Dance Institute's After School Classes are open to the general public, and allow children not currently affiliated with our In-School or Advanced Programs to experience first-hand the excellence of NDI.

Arts Encounter
Classes and workshops for children ages 5-6. Children learn energetic dance steps drawn from NDI’s unique pedagogy, study music and rhythm, and design and make their own costumes for a culminating performance. Schedule.
