        Tell me about your children's program.

        We have an excellent one!
        Children's Movement is for kids ages 3 & 4 and includes ballet, jazz, tap, and tumbling. Kids will improve and refine  their motor skills and learn basic dance movement. It's fun and educating. Girls should wear tights, a leotard, skirt (optional), and ballet shoes. Boys should wear a white shirt and place sweats or dance pants and black ballet shoes. We provide gently used tap shoes or you can bring your own.

        Introduction to Dance is for kids ages 5 & 6.  Classes also include ballet, jazz, tap, and tumbling. Students will continue to work on their motor skill but will focus more on their dance technique than in Children's Movement. Girls should wear tights, a leotard, skirt (optional), and ballet shoes. Boys should wear a white shirt and place sweats or dance pants and black ballet shoes. We provide gently used tap shoes or you can bring your own.

        It is not necessary to have taken Children's Movement to be in Introduction to Dance.  Classes are designed for beginners to join at any time. 

        What do you offer for Adults?

        Almost everything! Adults make up one of our largest demographics so we have classes catered especially to you.  You may like to join our 50s+ Tap classes (open to adults of all ages) or the Broadway Movement class which focuses on stretch, strength, and classic dance exercises for adults.

        If you're looking for something a little more difficult, you may want to try our Belly Dance, Flamenco, Ballet, Tap or Jazz classes for teens and adults. These classes are designed for young adults who have never danced before and want to try something new or have danced previously and want to get back into the art.  Either way, you're welcomed!
