Class DescriptionsHis Feet Dance is a recreational dance studio. While we have a gentle, encouraging approach to teaching, we also focus on technique and proper form in all areas of dance. Our curriculum is based on the Cecchetti method for ballet. Beginners and experienced dancers will be placed as best as we are able and will be asked to give their very best in class and show sportsmanship to their classmates. The focus of His Feet is to bring glory to God, to love one another in Christ, and to worship Him through dancing. Please contact Hannah if you are unsure about the placement for your student.
