The Hopkinsville/Christian County Family YMCA has partnered with long-standing studio, Image Dance II, of Elkton, Kentucky to provide quality dance and gymnastics classes for children starting at age 3.
Image Dance II Classes are designed to meet all ability levels and include: tap, ballet, jazz, recreational gymnastics, and tumble/cheerleading. Smaller classes and experienced instructors provide your child a welcoming environment to learn skills and develop their talent.
Fall 2010/Spring 2011 Classes have begun but there are several open classes still available! Sign up at the YMCA!
If a class is full, please call the YMCA to be put on a waiting list!
