Adult Dance

Transform Your Life!

Beginner to intermediate/advanced

MoCo offers a few dance class options for college students and adults. Adult dance classes are designed for beginners and those with past dance experience. These classes do not perform in any of the scheduled dance performances.

Our adult dance classes run in half semester sessions offering flexibility but still honoring the need for commitment. These classes are a great workout for those looking to work up a sweat, while still providing the quality dance education that MoCo is known for. Much of the instruction is modified to fit the ability level of each dancer so no one will feel left out or feel like they cannot participate. If you have any questions about our Adult Dance classes please talk to our front desk staff.

  • Adult Ballet
  • Adult Hip Hop/Jazz

Enter class prepared and ready to start (warm your body up). Please arrive to class early and go to the bathroom before class starts. 

If late for class, wait outside until you hear the music stop. Once the music stops, enter the studio and wait for the teacher to ask you to join the class.
