Bringing the Love of Dance to Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton and Montrose from Weehawken Creative Arts!

Weehawken Creative Arts is a non-profit organization. We are successful because of you, your family, your friends, our volunteers, donors and patrons. Our community helps us grow and continue to provide the best quality programming.

Student’s placement in classes and workshops offered by WCA Dance is at the discretion of the WCA teaching staff and is subject to the approval of the Artistic Director. Our levels are based upon the guidelines of the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum. This program is widely recognized in dance studios across America, providing a good reference for an individual student’s accomplishment. Guidelines for levels are approximate and may vary according to the individual’s experience, development, physical attributes, and/or the judgment of the teacher about a particular student’s readiness for a designated level of work. If a teacher determines that a student’s previous training has not prepared the student adequately for the level of work, the student may be asked to take a slower class.
