Community Classes

Various Dance Class Styles for All Ages

Our classes serve approximately 250 students each week and are open to pre-school-aged children through adults in various dance styles. Classes are offered in the Sybil Smith Lebhertz Center for Dance Education and our Studio Annex on the other side of our main building, both in downtown Fort Walton Beach. Classes for the 2024-2025 season begin August 5.

NFB is a non-profit organization and is not a competition-based dance school. Our goal is to keep dance education affordable and flourishing in our community.
