Dance Classes
For the past 5 years, ArtspireVA has been offering dance classes. We have an amazing group of instructors who believe in building confident dancers while building strong dance technique.
All classes will be held at West Potomac High School in the dance studio. To register please fill out the google form. Classes are limited in space and will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
Please note that we use West Potomac High School Dance Studio as our dance class space. That means we will not hold classes on student holidays/teacher workdays etc. The days that FCPS has marked as a student holiday are accounted for on our calendar for class date. No classes will be held during FCPS Spring Break 3/30-4/6.
