ODC School Youth & Teen Program
Embark on a journey of creativity and movement! Located in San Francisco’s Mission District at the ODC Campus, the ODC School Youth & Teen Program is a creative hub for ages 2–18. Students will be challenged and delighted by dance technique classes and performance opportunities in a supportive and body-positive environment.
From dynamic dance classes to imaginative intensives, young people will have a blast moving and shaking in age-appropriate, and FUN dance programs for all levels. Throughout the year, our curriculum offers creative movement, contemporary, hip hop, ballet, tap, composition, choreography and more!
Please submit a Youth & Teen Program Info/Enrollment Form so we can help you get started with communication and registration. Text the Youth & Teen Program or request a callback: 707-653-5541. Enrollment continues for available classes after the start of each session.
Enrollment is open for our Spring Session! Semester long classes will run from January 11 to May 15. Some year-long classes still have openings! Email registration@odc.dance to inquire about availability.

Land Acknowledgement
ODC is on the ancestral lands of the Ramaytush People in Yelamu. We pay respects to elders past and present, who are still here and part of our community. We recognize that regenerative land management is not new, but is a continuation of practices from Native cultures and from our own ancestors. It is our responsibility to steward the land with care, as our elders did before us.
