SMH Dance Program
Saint Mary’s Hall has the finest dance facility in San Antonio, with three large studios, an impressive lobby with designer décor.
It also features spacious dressing rooms, faculty offices, and storage for our extensive costume collection including professional grade tutus. Classes are taught by a faculty of seven exceptionally-trained dance educators, under the direction of Head of Dance Yosvani Cortellan.
The Dance Program offers a wide range of dance for boys and girls from ages 4 and up. Lower, Middle, and Upper School students have the option to study in-school dance for class credit, as well as after-school options through the Arts Dance Academy.
The program presents four major productions annually, as well as in-school Assembly performances, giving students the opportunity to regularly showcase their dance talents at their home school to their family, friends, teachers, and community.
