Our Classes

We offer Pre Ballet through Pre-professional Classical Ballet classes
as well as Jazz including Contemporary, Lyrical, Musical Theater Dance,
plus adult classes and Summer Dance Programs!

Classical Ballet

Our Classical Ballet Program is based primarily on the Balanchine-style of technique. Classes are tailored for students to naturally progress though each level appropriate to age and ability. We offer classes for children 3 through 18, starting with pre-ballet and ending with our pre-professional division.

Pre-Ballet

Pre-ballet introduces children ages 3 and 4 to the joys of dance. Through movement and imagination, children improve on motor skills, musicality and learning to work in a group. These classes build the foundation of a child's love for dance. Designed as a first dance experience, children discover dance as part of a group in a non-competitive atmosphere.

Jazz

Our jazz program incorporates contemporary jazz styles that change and evolve with new trends in an upbeat learning environment that encourages students to express themselves and build confidence and self-esteem both in and out of the studio. Classes in contemporary, lyrical, tap and theatre dance are all included as disciplines within the jazz department.

Adult Classes

All of our adult classes welcome those who are taking dance for the first time, those who are returning to dance, and those who are keeping active in their chosen technique. So, you think you can't dance? We prove that you can!

Summer Dance

Summer Dance programs are a fun and focused line-up of classes for dancers of all ages and abilities. From our littlest bella ballerinas to more experienced young dancers, as well as those new to dance, our summer dance sessions offer a fun, varied and challenging program.

The Ridgefield School of Dance is more than a dance studio. My girls consider it a second home. It’s a safe place to have fun with friends and work on something they love.

- Korey T., Dance parent
Jess is a focused hand who doesn’t allow the girls to be satisfied with “good enough.” Ms. Irene is a magician getting the youngest of dancers to focus, learn, and enjoy dance.

We love Ridgefield School of Dance and feel so lucky to be part of this wonderful family!

Justine C, dance parent
Having danced at the studio from age 4 until high school graduation, it awarded me countless opportunities… Along with learning different techniques and allowing me to refine my ballet, RSD gave me my confidence, professionalism, and life long friends… I cannot recommend RSoD enough for anyone, regardless of age or level.

Claire C, RSoD graduate, Professional Dancer
Not only is this, in my opinion, the best studio in town, it is like a home away from home. RSoD has the most amazing staff, the most amazing students and is a great place for dancers to discover their passion.

Madison R., dance graduate
My daughter has grown leaps and bounds (pun intended). She is there almost every day of the week and has made numerous friends! They help in continuing to build my daughter’s love and passion of dance. RSOD has given her poise, grace and confidence in her everyday life! We are so grateful and thankful for The Ridgefield School of Dance.

Each year, The Ridgefield School of Dance presents a winter and spring performance in which all of the students are encouraged to participate. Both performances include a classical ballet and an energetic offering from the Jazz Department. We present The Nutcracker in November and our annual, year-end performance features a full-length classical ballet performed by our older dancers along with a ballet specially designed for our younger artists.
