What you should do now: Due to staffing shortages at the recreation sites, it is highly recommended that you register online for classes. If you need help enrolling, and/or are applying for the City's low-income fee waiver program, Civic Dance Arts staff will be processing fee waivers and registering students at the War Memorial Building, 3325 Zoo Drive (Balboa Park) from 10am-2pm on Saturday, December 14 only. Your other option is to contact your local Recreation Center in advance to schedule an appointment for low-income fee waiver verification, and/or to confirm their registration hours. See more information here. Please contact the Dance Office at 619-235-5255 if you have any questions.

Some information about Spring Classes:

Priority is given to continuing students from the Fall 2024 semester.

Spring classes emphasize choreography for recitals.

Each class has a unique costume associated with it. Please register for both the class and the costume (in the class description online, it will link you from the class to the correct class costume to order).

Class costumes are mandatory to participate in our June recitals. Please note: Purchasing a costume does not guarantee a dancer will perform in recitals: Regular class attendance throughout the Spring Semester is necessary for the student(s) to be prepared for June performances.

New students will need to contact the dance office at 619-235-5255 for assistance with enrollment as teacher approval will be required to join the Spring session classes that have fall prerequisites on them or are more advanced level (Beg 1B- Pre-professional 6A).

These classes culminate in dance recitals at the Casa del Prado Theater stage (Balboa Park) May 31st – June 15th (performances are Fridays to Sundays with dress rehearsals scheduled mid-week, late afternoon to eve, beginning May 28). While participation in recitals is optional, please note that the entire semester is geared toward preparing and rehearsing a dance for the June recitals.
