About Our Offerings

Hochstein's dance program offers a full range of sequential, guided instruction focusing on the joy, and enjoyment, of the art of dance. With an emphasis on nurturing the whole dancer, our professional faculty works with each student to develop confidence and creativity as well as technical proficiency and performance skills.

Hochstein’s dance philosophy is unique to the Rochester community—we believe that performance is part of the education process, but the emphasis is on the educational experience and the joy of dance. We provide excellent instruction in a variety of styles, including ballet study grounded in the Russian Vaganova technique. Students have the opportunity to participate in dance showcases, in the Hochstein Performance Hall, each year.

Choose from a variety of offerings for the dancer of any age. See below for a full listing of dance classes and click on the links in the sidebar to read class descriptions. For more information, please call 585.454.4596.
