Dance Fall 2025
The Darien Arts Center Dance Program offers a wide variety of classes for all ages and skill levels. Students train in one of the finest dance spaces in Fairfield County and have the unique opportunity to participate in multiple performances throughout the year.
We also have a Darien Arts Center Company and Company Apprentice and Trainee programs for those who want to focus on a pre-professional ballet and contemporary path. The Company and Apprentices perform four times a year in The Nutcracker, a student-produced performance - So We Think We Can Dance, the Mixed Rep Spring Program where they explore neoclassical and contemporary styles and the End-of-Year Peformance, which is school-wide and a masterful display of the plethora of styles DAC students are capable of.
