Upper-Elementary Programs (Grades 3-6)

Upper-Elementary FUNdamentals Program: Our FUNdamentals performance runs from September – June. Students in the program may choose to be part of our annual Nutcracker or Spring Recital. Performance at Exhale is never mandatory and we will reach out to RSVP for these special opportunities! *Choose the class labeled 4 installments prior to checkout to enroll in the full year program.
Upper-Elementary Discovery Program: Join the class with our monthly payment option. This is a great way for dancers to try our program without making a full year commitment . If your child loves to dance they can easily transition into our FUNdamentals class and perform in the Annual Recital!
