Mark Morris Dance Group | Children and Teens

The School is an inclusive, non-recital, recreational environment; we believe “Dance is for Anybody!” and do not hold auditions. Student learning is shared during periodic invited Family and Friends Days at the end of each semester and, when applicable, of each camp.

The Children and Teens Program is designed for:

Students 6 to 18 years old with a variety of movement backgrounds, with and without disabilities
Our classes run on an academic year progressive curriculum (32-weeks) from September through June. Students should ideally stay in the same class and level for the full year.
Students can choose a specific technique to study and have the option of participating in: Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Hip-Hop, Tap, Music and Singing, and/or Intergenerational West African Dance classes.

Adaptive Dance + Sensory Friendly Programming: While all classes at The School are inclusive, our Adaptive and Sensory Friendly classes provide a more focused learning environment for students who prefer a smaller class size. Learn more here.

Tiered Tuition, Scholarships and Payment Plans: We are committed to upholding our core values of Community, Access, Artistic Excellence, and Creativity. Tiered pricing options, in collaboration with our scholarship program, allow us to take collective action to reduce financial barriers that have traditionally prevented some students and families from participating.

The School has reached it’s scholarship capacity for the 2024-2025 school year. Please contact schooladmin@mmdg.org if you are interested in registering for dance class with a payment plan.
