Dear Students and Parents:
We wanted to thank you all for helping to make our inaugural Westport Dance Center performance at the Quick Center such a rousing success! We have been watching the performance DVDs this week and are so proud of all the progress our students have made this year.
It has been a pleasure working with all our extremely talented students and we look forward to even greater successes in the future.
Enjoy the summer and Keep On Dancing!

The Quick Center Kelley theatre is a 740 seat state of the art facility which is known as one of the finest concert stages in the country.

Tiaras and Tutus
At WDC we have created and developed a new type of ballet experience. Tiaras and Tutus will teach students ballet technique while they learn about classical ballets like Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia, Swan Lake, and The Nutcracker to name a few.
Children will wear beautiful handmade tutus (from TutuBella) and shimmering tiaras for their class and learn age appropriate ballet skills as they immerse themselves in the stories and authentic music from classical ballets. Classes will be taught at an age appropriate technique level. There will be a class for 4yr olds and a class for 5-6yr olds on Mondays. Class size is limited to 8 children in the 4yr old class and 10 children in the 5-6yr old class.
