The Youth Dance Program at the Hubbard Street Dance Center Experience the joy of dance in the unique environment of the Hubbard Street Dance Center’s Youth Dance Program studios. With more than 80 classes weekly—plus a variety of fun performance opportunities—all taught by Chicago’s finest professional faculty, there’s something here for everyone.

CREATIVE Early Childhood classes allow students ages 18 months to 5 years to investigate universal dance concepts through improvisation. Dancers ages 6–18 continue their explorations in improvisation and choreography throughout their technique program.

TECHNICAL Progressive classes provide dancers with in-depth study of the techniques that support contemporary dance. With a classical ballet foundation, additional courses include modern, jazz, hip hop, tap and musical theater, as well as master classes with current and former Hubbard Street dancers.

COMPREHENSIVE Through age-appropriate goals such as improvisation, dance vocabulary, and technique, students study all aspects of dance, including choreography. Our comprehensive approach helps dancers reach progressive skill levels, develops leadership and risk-taking, and inspires communication of their ideas in new ways.

The Youth Dance Program encompasses three divisions: Early Childhood Division (ages 18 months to 5 years) Primary Division (ages 6 to 9) Secondary Division (ages 9 to 18)

EARLY CHILDHOOD DIVISION For ages 18 months to 5 years

Hubbard Street’s Early Childhood Creative Movement curriculum allows young students to explore their developing movement skills while interacting with caregivers and peers, moving into independent classes around age 3. Utilizing our renowned universal dance vocabulary, each session features a different theme, such as change, communication, balance, or confidence to contribute to the development of our littlest students as they start to understand themselves and the world around them.

Parent/Child Class ages 18 months to 3 years Caregivers are an essential part of this class, in which we bounce, swing, twirl, and jump accompanied by vibrant music and stories.

Creative Movement ages 3 to 5 As children explore new and familiar dance concepts through their evolving gross motor skills, we’ll tell stories with movement while dancing together. Offered as Dance 3, Dance 4, Dance 5, and a multi-age Dance 3–5.

Session Dates (8 weeks) August 27 – October 20 October 22 – December 22 January 7 – March 2 March 4 – May 4 Tuition 45-minute class: $150 per session Annual Registration Fee: $30
