A SCHOOL OF DANCE AND PERFORMING ARTS WITH CLASSES FOR PRE-SCHOOLERS, CHILDREN, AND TEENS AT ALL LEVELS.
Our staff is composed of experienced and educated instructors who stress individual attention. We provide quality education within a structure of enjoyable classes.
Understanding Dance Education
We believe in a positive atmosphere for our students, their parents, and our staff. Although parents and teachers might view the child’s learning process in different ways, the goal is the same: we want every child to have the best experience, both physically and mentally. Respect among the parents, students, and faculty provides a caring and positive environment.
Our school takes the responsibility of educating and guiding your children very seriously. The lessons learned at dancing school go beyond the techniques and steps they master. We believe dancers gain an understanding of discipline, commitment, teamwork, and the value of working hard. We offer them a way to express themselves and have a better understanding of themselves. Dance is an individual art form. We strive for our students to feel satisfied with their own accomplishments, to be supportive of others and to feel good about being at our school.
Someday our students might forget most of the steps they learned at dancing school, but never the experience. We hope that experience will provide them with the skills and confidence for a successful life whether or not it includes dance.
Our Philosophy Of Dance Education
For over 35 years, our school’s philosophy has been to provide quality dance education in a caring environment. We aim to inspire our students to be the best dancers they can be whether they are recreational or intensive dancers. Additionally, we are dedicated to developing self-esteem and confidence in each child. We aspire to have a lasting positive influence on our students now and in the future.
