Dance Classes & Programming

Member & Non Member, Ages 2 – Adult

Welcome! The Performing Arts Department at the Jewish Community Center of Omaha imparts the joy and discipline of dance, theater, and music through a well-rounded catalogue of programming. For over 40 years we’ve provided dance programming to the community. We offer high caliber instruction in pre-ballet, ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip hop, leaps & turns, lyrical and pom. Classes are offered at a variety of levels, with all classes providing emphasis on technique, musicality, body awareness and the development of self-expression through movement.

All programs are taught in a caring and positive atmosphere by our qualified and experienced staff. Limited class size ensures students receive greater personalized instruction and the ability to social distance. Attention to detail, such as providing live piano accompaniment for ballet classes, is what sets our program apart from the rest. We also house one of the finest facilities in the metro area. We have gorgeous dance studios that are newly renovated and fully equipped, a beautiful 330-seat theater and new musical training studios.

We also offer a variety of special programs. Choreographic workshops, music lessons, theater and acting classes, performance opportunities with recognized artists, and field trips to area dance events, are just some of the exciting opportunities that await! Performing Arts programming at the J is open to Members and Non-Members, ages 2 through adult. Members receive discounted rates and other benefits.
