SPRING 2026: DANCE LEVELS 1 - 3 AT WEEHAWKEN!
Schedule Release for Spring 2026!
Registration opens November 1 |Classes begin January 12 | Final deadline: January 24 (if space is available)
The Weehawken Dance program runs year-round, offering 28 weeks of classes divided into two semesters. Each semester concludes with a performance at the Montrose Pavilion, giving every dancer the chance to shine on stage. Level 1–3 classes are offered on a semester-by-semester basis and help dancers build strength, technique, and confidence as they advance through our program. Dancers in this level will work on focus, technique, and dance vocabulary, facilitating skill development and discipline. In addition to refining foundational skills, students continue developing musicality, classroom focus, and stage presence. Dancers in Level 1 or 1/2 perform once per semester, while dancers in Level 2/3 or Level 3 perform twice—appearing in two shows during the production week.
Age Guide for Classes:
- LEVEL 1: Ages 8-9.5 (2nd grade - 4th grade)
- LEVEL 2: Ages 9-10.5 (4th grade - 5th grade)
- LEVEL 3: Ages 10+ (5th grade and up)

Tajiana Rueschhoff’s dance journey began at the age of 5 when she first stepped into a small ballet school in Mississippi, sparking a passion that would endure a lifetime. Growing up in Ouray, Colorado, she continued to nurture her love for dance with Weehawken, honing her skills over the years. Travel played a pivotal role in her development, allowing her to train under diverse instructors and immerse herself in various dance styles. Summers were often spent in intensive training at the Kansas City Ballet, further shaping her dedication to dance. Tajiana pursued her passion with pre-professional training at the Northwest Florida Ballet. Now, back in Ouray, she is pursuing an undergraduate degree in Geology at the University of Florida while eagerly embracing the opportunity to share her profound love for dance through teaching.
