Dance School we have been teaching children, teens & adults since 1997.

We offer the opportunity to train your child to participate in dance performances and or competitions both nationally and internationally. All of this requires extra training, classes and commitments. For further information please contact the school.

If you are interested in your child or teen joining one of our dance teams he/she must be taking classes at Smiling David's Dance School and once the child is ready you will be informed about participation in one of the performance teams.Want to join a performance team??
