Winter/Spring 2026 PRE & PRIMARY DANCE AT WEEHAWKEN!
Schedule for Winter/Spring 2026!
Online Registration is now closed. Summer Schedule will be released April 1st.
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. Pre and Primary level classes are offered on a semester-by-semester basis and provide young dancers with a strong foundation in movement. In addition to developing coordination and motor skills, students learn how to follow directions, work with others, and thrive in a group setting. Dancers in these levels perform twice a year—once in the winter and once in the spring.
Age Guide for Pre/Primary Level Dance Classes:
PRE: Ages 3-5 (preschool-aged children)
PRIMARY: Ages 5-8 (kindergarten - 2nd grade)
Weekly Class Schedule
Note: Many of our classes are intentionally structured as mixed-level (e.g., Pre/Primary Ballet) to better support students at different stages of development, offer appropriate challenges, and allow for more flexible placement based on experience and instructor recommendation.

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.
