Boston University Fitness & Recreation Center

Children & Family Classes

The BU Youth Dance Center’s programs build your child’s confidence and skills by providing him/her with personalized attention in a fun, positive and creative learning environment. Our classes cultivate your child’s ability to focus and assimilate verbal and visual information while building healthy hearts and flexible bodies. Our professional instructors will share their passion and knowledge for dance, which includes the integration of safe, anatomically-sound training.

Ballet, tumbling, gymnastics and hip hop are some of the children's classes offered as part of the Family Recreation Program during the academic year.
