Adult dance classes in Whitefish Bay
Fresh Coast Dance adult tap class performing at the spring recital
After growing up as a dancer, Amy returned as an adult to start taking tap classes again at Fresh Coast Dance.
She returned to the stage after 25 years away.
“It was such an amazing experience to rekindle my long lost love of dance,” she said. “Thank you to Fresh Coast Dance for offering adult dance classes in our community. You are changing lives, young and old, and it means more than you know.”
At Fresh Coast Dance, we love having adults discover or re-discover the joy of dancing. We have had dancers who stepped into our studio after taking classes when they were younger, and others who are trying it out for the first time.
Fresh Coast Dance, located in downtown Whitefish Bay at 177 E. Silver Spring Drive, Suite 200, offers adult dance classes designed to accommodate different skill levels and interests. Our mission is to help dancers of all ages become the best versions of themselves by discovering and unleashing the gift of movement, thereby increasing skill, boosting confidence, and enhancing mental, emotional and physical health.

Benefits of Dance for Adults
Dance is often seen as an activity for children or professional performers, but its benefits for adults are just as significant. Whether you're new to dance or reconnecting after years away, stepping into the studio can bring numerous advantages that go beyond the joy of movement. Here are some reasons why adults should consider adding dance to their routine:
Improved Physical Health
Dance is a full-body workout that combines cardio, strength training, and flexibility. Regular dancing can help improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle tone, and enhance overall endurance. Unlike traditional gym workouts, dance feels less like exercise and more like an enjoyable activity, making it easier to stick to consistently.
Stress Relief
The rhythm and movement of dance allow you to focus on the present moment, offering a mental escape from daily stressors. The combination of music and movement has been shown to reduce cortisol levels and boost mood, making it an excellent outlet for stress relief.
Enhanced Cognitive Function
Learning choreography and adapting to new movements stimulate the brain, improving memory, focus, and problem-solving skills. Studies have shown that dance can help delay cognitive decline and support overall brain health.
Social Connection
Dance classes provide a welcoming environment to meet new people and build connections. Whether you're dancing solo or with a partner, the shared experience fosters camaraderie and a sense of community.
Boosted Confidence
Mastering new dance steps and expressing yourself through movement can enhance self-esteem and body positivity. Dance allows adults to connect with their creativity and celebrate their individuality.
Increased Flexibility and Balance
As we age, maintaining flexibility and balance becomes crucial to prevent injuries and enhance mobility. Dance incorporates stretches and controlled movements that promote better posture and coordination.
Accessible to All Levels
Dance is for everyone, regardless of age or experience level. From ballet to hip hop, ballroom to contemporary, there are styles and classes tailored to suit every interest and ability.
Pure Joy
At its core, dance is about celebrating movement and enjoying yourself. It’s an opportunity to let loose, have fun, and embrace the rhythm of life.
