Our classes are all non-competitive and cooperative. We teach teamwork, body awareness, body appreciation, and dance! All our teachers dress in appropriate attire for movement and select age-appropriate songs and costumes. It is our commitment to protect and nurture the students who walk into our studio.
All classes listed below are broken into age divisions to ensure the highest quality of dance education for your dancer. Please see the following lists of information and click the button to create an account and register for classes. If you need assistance, please email us at [email protected]
