Curriculum

Our qualified staff is dedicated to pursuing excellence in education and passing that on to our students. We all pursue furthering our dance educations through Master training, DEA membership, and taking technique and teaching classes to better serve you. We are committed to providing quality dance and theatre education in a supportive, loving, and friendly environment. Our students learn the art and discipline of dance and theatre including proper technique, correct terminology, class etiquette, appreciation of the arts, teamwork, time management, performance qualities, dance history, audition and interview skills, and clear communication skills.
Our values solidify our strong belief in age appropriate dance movements, song lyrics, and costume selections. We want everyone to feel appreciated, accepted, and a part of our company‘s family, no matter your religious or personal beliefs.

Convenience

We offer many advantages including a convenient location, a wide selection of class offerings and time choices, a flexible make up policy for missed classes, online registration, 2 payment options (monthly or bi-yearly), and a place to be with your family to in our comfortable family friendly environment. We are passionate about communication with our clients and are available through many mediums to answer all your questions, when it is convenient for you.

Creativity

We believe that creativity is very important and fosters a sense of self in several ways, so we focus on building a creative environment in all our activities. Whether you are involved in our performances, camps, classes, or master classes, there is a focus on creative and critical thinking. Our students are encouraged to apply a personal style to their technique, work on characterizations for performing, learn improvisational skills in master classes and weekly classes, and most importantly, all our students learn how to appreciate and nurture each others’ creative efforts, so there is a sense of safety and community in creation.
