Park Center Dance Program
The philosophy of the Glenview Park District dance program is to teach the fundamentals of dance in a supportive, encouraging and non- competitive environment where every dancer excels. Our highly-
trained instructors strive to give each student the best possible dance experience, to help them gain poise and confidence, and encourage participation in a healthy physical activity.
The annual spring dance recital held in May at Glenbrook South High School’s auditorium gives students an opportunity to perform on a real stage with professionally designed lighting, sound system and costumes.
