More Styles, More Discovery

From ballet to hip hop, K-pop to musical theater, the School of Dance offers a wide range of styles for every dancer. Classes meet students where they are and guide them forward, building skill, confidence, and artistry every step of the way.

Consistency Meets Exploration

Weekly lessons are available throughout the school year to allow our dance students to maintain a consistent schedule. These lessons are supplemented with workshops, week-long camps, and special performance opportunities to ensure that students get to explore every area of dance that sparks their interest, and that students who are unable to participate weekly still have the chance to engage with dance.

THE DANCE MISSION

At OCMD, our mission has always been to nurture, empower, and inspire the next generation of young performing artists, and that includes dance. Dance as a medium is expressive, creative, fun, and teaches skills with applications far beyond the art itself. By helping our students develop physical and mental acuity, we prepare them to face life’s challenges with the same grace, ease, and confidence they bring into the dance studio.
