About us

About us

Dance is inherently about forging connections—with ourselves, others, the world, and even beyond. Through feeling the rhythm, music and pure joy of dance, we can all form bonds and unite. Dance has the power to center our souls, enabling us to discover our unique identities and express ourselves confidently in the world. As an integral part of Yen Han Ballet Productions, Yen Han Dance Center is committed to nurturing the joy of dance across all age groups, providing unwavering support to both vocational dancers and aspiring professionals on their remarkable dance journey.

Embodying a holistic approach, we firmly believe that dance serves as a profound conduit to connect the body and mind. Through this art form, individuals can truly embrace their unique essence, fostering a deep sense of ownership and empowerment. Confidence flourishes, and expression becomes second nature, allowing them to shine brightly in the world. At Yen Han Dance Center, we aspire to be the catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery through the profound experience of dance.

Professional Training Programs

Our professional ballet program offers afternoon and evening classes, allowing students to organize their schedules for both dancing and academic studies. This program extends opportunities not only for our “Kunst and Sport" students, but especially also to all dancers who seek professional training alongside their academic studies. Our program offers them a chance to pursue serious dance training while maintaining their schedule for academic studies. Our curriculum provides numerous performance opportunities, and students get to collaborate with choreographers, exploring the creative process of bringing a production to life. We collaborate with governmental public and private academic schools who support the studies of these students. Throughout their intensive training, the curriculum places significant emphasis on the mental and physical well-being of each student, which makes our school a well-recognized center that fosters a healthy learning environment.

Recreational Training Programs for Children and Adults

Our recreational program thrives on the same teaching theories and evolving practices as our professional program. It is essential to provide both hobby and vocational dancers with the same support and foster their appreciation for dance while helping them reach their maximum potential and find joy in this art form. Our kids’ dance classes begin at the age of 4 years, fostering exploration of the creative mind and movements. Each age group benefits from a tailored curriculum to aid their development through ballet and other forms of dance classes.
For adults, we wholeheartedly encourage the exploration of self-connection through an array of dance classes, such as ballet, modern dance, tap dance, and diverse fitness dance training programs rooted in somatic practice. Our adult programs cater to individuals of all levels, from those who are new to dance and seeking to embark on their dance journey, to experienced dancers aiming to refine their skills and continually progress in both dancing and physical training. At Yen Han Dance Center, we are devoted to guiding and supporting every adult on their unique path of personal growth in dance and exploring the profound meaning of movements.

Community Programs

We are deeply committed to giving back to the community through our involvement with our neighborhoods, senior homes and outreach schools. By sharing the joy of dance with others, we believe dance brings people together and serves as a powerful medium for self-expression, making the world a happier place.
