Dance AS Extension
Dance AS Extension is our outreach program, created to bring creativity, imagination, and movement to students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience dance. Through this initiative, we strive to make dance education accessible to all children, fostering self-expression, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
This free after-school program is offered at select elementary schools within Prince William County Schools (PWCS) and is designed to introduce students to multiple dance styles in a fun and supportive environment. Over a 14-week session, students explore ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop, with each style taught in focused three-week segments. The program concludes with a review week and an exciting final showcase, where students perform for family and friends, celebrating their hard work and progress.
Dance AS Extension is open to beginning dancers in 1st through 5th grade, with students grouped into two age levels to ensure age-appropriate instruction and growth. More than just a dance class, this program helps students develop coordination, discipline, teamwork, and confidence while encouraging creative expression. By bringing dance directly to schools, we empower students to discover the joy of movement, regardless of financial barriers or prior experience.

Arts Fusion
Dance AS Arts Fusion is a dynamic program that expands on Dance AS Extension by integrating visual art, live music, and international/cultural elements into dance education. This program fosters creativity and interdisciplinary learning, allowing dancers to explore the connections between movement, music, and artistic expression.
Each session incorporates live or recorded music, visual arts projects, and cultural influences that deepen students’ understanding of dance as an art form. Whether through painting inspired by movement, dancing to live percussion, or learning traditional dances from around the world, Dance AS Arts Fusion offers a rich, immersive experience that broadens artistic perspectives.
Designed to inspire and engage, this program encourages dancers to think beyond technique and embrace the full spectrum of artistic storytelling.
Adopt-A-Dancer
The Adopt-A-Dancer program at Dance AS is an inspiring initiative designed to ensure
that every passionate dancer has the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of
financial barriers. At Dance AS, we believe that everyone should have access to the
transformative power of dance, and this program is a testament to our commitment to
fostering a supportive and inclusive community.
