What types of dance classes does RoCo Dance offer?

RoCo Dance & Studios, Inc. offers youth and adult dance classes across all levels and styles, including Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Breaking, Brazilian, Cardio, Pilates, and Fitness. The studio is in Mill Valley, California, and runs over 100 classes weekly, so the main choice you need to make is whether you are registering for the adult program or the youth program, then which style and level fit you.

Adult and youth programs are separate

RoCo organizes its schedule into two tracks, each with its own registration, pricing, and policies pages:

• Adult classes — listed under an adult schedule, with a separate "Adult Pricing & Policies" page.
• Youth classes — listed under a youth schedule, with separate "Youth Pricing" and "Youth Policies" pages. Youth Fall 2026 registration is currently shown as open.

If you are signing up a child, start from the youth schedule and youth pricing page. If you are signing up yourself, start from the adult schedule and adult pricing page. The two tracks do not share a single registration page.

Styles and formats

The studio describes its program as spanning all levels and styles. Named styles and formats include:

This is a broad program rather than a single-style school, so you can combine a technique class with a fitness or conditioning class in the same term.

Youth companies and performance tracks

Beyond weekly classes, RoCo lists youth performance groups: RoCo's Youth Companies, plus BodyLanguage/BodyTalk and Synergy/Kinetic/The Collective. These are separate from the general youth class schedule and are worth checking if your goal is performance rather than recreational training. RoCo states that its dancers perform 4–6 times annually at Bay Area venues with original choreography.

Who teaches the classes

Classes are taught by Bay Area instructors and guest artists. Specific instructors and guest artists appear in the schedule and workshop listings — for example, Hip Hop with Micaya, the Axis Syllabus Workshop, and the Taiko Drumming Series with Kristy "Aki" Oshiro. Because instructors rotate by term, check the current class schedule rather than relying on a name you saw in a past session.

How to decide which class to take

1. Pick your track. Adult or youth — this determines which schedule and pricing page applies.
2. Pick a style. Use the style list above to narrow down; if you are unsure, Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, and Hip Hop are the core named styles.
3. Check the level. RoCo states classes span all levels, so confirm the level noted on the individual class listing.
4. Check the current term. Registration status changes by season — Youth Fall 2026 is shown as open, and workshop dates are listed individually (for example, the Axis Syllabus Workshop on Friday, September 25, 2:30–4:00pm).
5. Look at one-off options. If you want to try the studio before committing to a term, watch for events like Bring a Friend Week (September 21–26) or single workshops.

Practical details to confirm before registering

• Pricing is split across two pages, so the adult and youth rates are not listed together.
• Registration runs through the site's class schedule and registration system, with a log-in/account area for account details and student registration.
• Location and contact: Mill Valley Studio, (415) 388-6786. RoCo was founded in 1993 and is led by Artistic Director and Owner Sadie Carhart.

If you already know the style you want, the fastest path is to open the schedule for your age track and filter by that style and level. If you don't, start with a core style at your level and add a workshop or Bring a Friend Week to test the fit before committing to a full term.
