Our experienced teachers, create a positive learning atmosphere where every child feels successful, supported, and excited to learn.

Creative Movement

Creative Movement is designed for our youngest dancers combining fundamental ballet steps and movement with artistic expression. We focuses on the development of motor skills, emotional expression,  and their imagination.

Beginning Ballet

Ages 5 - 6 years
Beginning Ballet begins with strengthening and stretching exercises at the barre. Then, dancers go to the center of the studio, where they practice combinations of steps that progress from slow, controlled movements to small jumps and turns. This class prepares the young dancer to advance to Ballet I.

Mini Classes introduce young dancers to a variety of styles, including Hip Hop, Jazz, Acro, Musical Theatre, and Pom Cheer. Through age-appropriate instruction, students build confidence, coordination, strength, and creativity while discovering new ways to move and perform.

Ballet & Pointe Program

Ages 7 & Up
Our Ballet & Pointe Program provides progressive, age-appropriate training that develops strong technique, artistry, discipline, and confidence. As dancers advance through the levels, they build the technical foundation that supports success in all dance styles while gaining opportunities to perform in productions such as The Nutcracker, participate in company programs, and pursue personal goals ranging from recreational dance to pre-professional training.

Our progressively developed classes have served to enrich and engage children in dance and more! Our ballet classes help build strong foundations in dance and movement. These skills benefit the dance students for later roles in life both in general applications and for transitioning into adult ballet.
