Forest Hill Dance

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Forest Hill Dance!   We serve the needs of over 200 dancers with seven instructors/ choreographers and over seventy (70) classes.   We continue to grow and add to our schedule allowing us to teach to all levels of dancers. Forest Hill Dance is run by a Committee of Volunteers.  All classes are held at the Forest Hill/Hickory Activities Center located at 2213 Commerce Road in Forest Hill.   We have two studios each equipped with sprung dance floors and mirrors with wall mounted Barres. 

 

Forest Hill Dance runs two programs: 

Our performance program which  begins in September and culminates in the spring with a large end of the year production with participation from dancers from Beginning Ballet and up.  This requires a significant time commitment towards the end of our season and requires some additional costs to parent (i.e. costumes recital tickets, photos).  These dancers are eligible to participate in our productions each year and competition team (age 8 and above) Our Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet classes end with an in-studio performance for their families. 

​

Great effort is taken by our staff to ensure that dancers are grouped together in classes where all can learn the same techniques and choreography.  New dancers are placed based on their age and previous dance experience.  After classes begin and our instructors begin working with a new dancer, they may find the need to adjust their class placement.

​

Dancers must take Ballet in our performance program.   We also offer a variety of levels of Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical, Pointe and Hip Hop.   The majority of our classes meet between 30 and 45 minutes each week with some meeting one hour or more.  

​

Forest Hill Dance also runs Recreation Programs.  These classes do not require ballet and run in sessions, one in the spring and one in the fall.  Each class will have in class demonstration at the end of the session.
