Children's  Summer  Dance  Practice

Clap, clap, curtsy; wind that bobbin; and so on.

It’s nearly here. The time of year that so many children and parents alike look forward to. Those warm evening nights, sprawled on your picnic blanket, snacks and drinks at the ready for the excited children who are starting summer dance practice, and new friendships, too!

We love this time of year and know you do, too — all 300+ of you! With an average of 275 kids participating each year, and an adult or two for each one, our stage and lawn fill up quickly, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, when is it happening this year?

Starting June 24th, 2019
FREE dance classes for school children ages 2 and up
Festival Park Stage, across from 195 W 5th Avenue in Junction City

What should I wear and bring?

Dancers should wear closed-toed shoes that have a strap around the back — if a child loses a shoe, stubbed toes hurt, and trip hazards are a real thing with these young kids. As for what to bring:

  • Water bottle. There is a fountain, but it’s Junction City water so if you’re not used to drinking it, it may not be tasty.
  • Blanket, chairs, snacks, cards, etc.
  • Snacks. If you have children in multiple age groups, it may be wise to bring something for the sitting child to do or eat.

The times for each age group are as follows:

  • Two- through five-year-olds (6-6:30pm)
  • First, second and third grade (6:30-7pm)
  • Fourth and fifth grade (7-7:30pm)
  • Sixth and seventh grade (7:30-8pm)
  • Eighth grade through college (8-9pm)

We’ll see you there!
