We believe quality dance training should be taught in a positive learning environment where creativity, dedication and self-esteem develop while emphasizing strong technical skills in an enjoyable structured atmosphere. The study of dance helps enable the student to develop proper body alignment, posture, grace, rhythm, coordination, motor skills, strength, flexibility and stamina.
Dance can be used to enlighten, motivate and inspire while providing a creative outlet for both the physical and emotional spirit of children. We are dedicated to the needs of each individual student, and strive to ensure that they have the best possible dance experience while building confidence, self-esteem, character, respect for self and others, and encouraging talent through a wonderful dance experience.
Dance is a demanding and complex skill requiring patience and determination from both student and teacher. While striving for proper and strong technique, emphasis is placed on creativity, self-expression and music appreciation. We teach children to follow their dreams, believe in themselves, and work to their full potential and that through hard work and determination they can reach their goals.
We are dedicated to encouraging, supporting, and guiding each student to help nurture in each child a joy and passion for dance and the performing arts.
