DANCE DISCOVERY is a brand new format of dance class in Dover - allowing new and returning dancers the opportunity to work on a variety of dancing styles with just one, local class!  Over each 13-week session, classes based on age will focus on three, pre-determined dance genres  allowing each style 4-weeks of total dance immersion; and with a final celebratory performance on the last day, dancers will exhibit their favorite dance styles and skills for family and friends to enjoy!
