We have searched far a
nd wide to invite instructors who we know will be challenging for the dancers as well as provide them with a rewarding experience. We are excited to have each of our teachers and have full faith in their ability to teach your students. Each class is designed to challenge and help develop dancers to be better in all genres. Classes will be in styles of Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, and Improv. There will be three levels of dancing for each participant to choose from; Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. These levels are a guideline for participants to put themselves into a level. Dancers are encouraged to be honest with themselves concerning their level and how they can challenge themselves to be better. The schedule for DANCE Aggieland can be found on our website!

At registration, supervisors will be given a paper to fill out and will be able to list all dancers they will be in charge of.
