About Chestnut Hill Dancing School
We offer ballroom dance and social etiquette instruction for children in 3rd-6th grade, aiming for fun to keep our young students engaged.
~ Partner Dancing ~
Partner dancing allows children to practice communication and collaboration in a unique and structured format. Children will learn steps to classic and modern styles such as the Waltz, Merengue, Tango, and Swing, all taught in a fun, age-appropriate manner by our experienced instructors.
~ Etiquette Essentials ~
From polite greetings and table manners to conversation basics, thank you notes, cell phone etiquette, and sportsmanship, children will learn and practice skills that last a lifetime.
Students begin every class practicing their handshake, greeting, and eye-contact. Each class will cover a different topic related to etiquette and social skills followed by dance instruction. Some favorite traditions of dancing class include our theme nights, the thank you note contest, trivia events, and the Valentines Day dance. The season concludes with a Dinner Dance where students have the opportunity to practice all that they have learned in class. Parents are invited to attend this event.
