Experience the Art of Dance at Connolly Dance Arts

Since 1990 Connolly Dance Arts has offered dance classes for all ages and ability levels. Our goal is to give every dancer a chance to experience everything the art of dance can provide.

We offer opportunities for dancers to express their individual talents in class and through performances. These experiences help our dancers develop self-discipline, gain confidence and achieve a feeling of pride in their accomplishments.

The faculty at Connolly Dance Arts is comprised of certified dance instructors and professionals in the industry. Our main goal is to see that our students enjoy their dance class experience. We strive to create a “home-away-from-home” environment for your child by providing dance instruction with positive feedback in a fun and energetic environment. By offering these things, every child feels important and can learn to express themselves through the art of dance. Training in dance increases motor skills, improves concentration, increases self-discipline and motivation, and allows for creative self-expression.
