Recreational
Dance for the love of it — all ages, all levels, all welcome.
Where Every Dancer Belongs
Our recreational program is the heart of DXNY. Whether your child is trying dance for the first time or has been moving since they could walk, rec classes offer a fun, supportive space to explore different styles, build skills, and make lasting friendships. No pressure, no auditions — just great dancing.
Located in Hauppauge, our rec program welcomes dancers from Commack, Smithtown, Deer Park, Kings Park, and surrounding Long Island communities.
Dance Styles
Ballet
Grace, posture, and classical technique — the foundation of all dance.
Tap
Rhythm, timing, and the joy of making music with your feet.
Hip-Hop
High-energy, street-style movement that builds confidence and coordination.
Jazz
Dynamic, expressive movement with a focus on performance quality.
Contemporary
Emotional storytelling through fluid, modern movement.
Lyrical
Where technique meets feeling — blending ballet and jazz with musicality.
