Programs

Pre-School Programs

Our pre-school programs foster a love of dance, music, and movement. Classes focus on developing listening skills and following directions, while encouraging creativity and joy through dance!

Creative Movement

Our creative movement and You & Me classes are for our youngest dancers, ages 2-3, who are exploring movement and music basics.

Pre-School

In our pre-school program, dancers learn classroom skills, beginning dance technique, and early academic skills through engaging, play-based learning.

Primary Programs

Our young dancer programs provide a strong foundation of dance technique. We focus on student development and building confidence through new challenges, positive feedback, and performance opportunities.

Pre-Primary

In our pre-primary program, dancers build upon classroom skills and focus on foundational technique. Dancers in this program progress in their balance, flexibility, self-esteem, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Primary

Dancers in our Primary program work to explore dance in more conceptual ways and focus on developing body awareness. Students investigate moving in a variety of directions and pathways, weight transfer, and work with opposites such as big and small.

Foundations

In the Foundations program, dancers begin to explore artistry in their movement, as well as grow in their independence with technical foundations. Students work to develop their leadership skills and take responsibility for their learning.

Fundamentals Programs

Our dance fundamentals programs provide dancers new opportunities to grow in dance artistry, performance, and technique. These programs focus on building upon strong technique foundations, while developing well-rounded, confident dancers and students.

Young Artist

In the Young Artist program, dancers continue to refine their technique as they develop as movement artists. Students have additional performance opportunities, and expand their knowledge of multiple dance techniques and styles.

Preparatory

Students in the Preparatory Program dive deeply into technical elements and solidify strong foundational habits. In this program, dancers are invited to explore more complex movement quality and take on leadership roles within our school.

Conservatory Programs

Our conservatory program provides well-rounded training in a variety of dance styles for dancers seeking to refine their dance education and grow as a movement artist and strong leader.

Junior Conservatory

Dancers in the Junior Conservatory program prioritize their dance and leadership training. These students discover themselves as growing artists and examine their dance and life goals, all while experiencing training in a range of dance styles. At this level, some dancers begin to find an area of focus in which they devote additional time.

Conservatory

Our Conservatory program is for dancers who have a commitment to their dance training, and may be looking to continue at a professional or University level. Our Conservatory classes promote a standard of excellence in ballet technique, as well as exploring movement in Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Acro and more.

Acro Programs

Our Acro programs provide an exciting, safe environment to learn new skills while building strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Acro enhances balance and agility and promotes proper posture and coordination. These classes are also great cross training for athletes and dancers.

Acro is not gymnastics. There are some similar elements as tumbling and gymnastics, but Acro focuses on the use of control and detailed muscle memory to achieve each skill. While gymnastics uses equipment, Acro uses props or dance to move in and out of skills. Acrobatic dancers take additional dance classes to learn the basics and have a full knowledge of skills.

Our school is certified in Acrobatic Arts and uses this curriculum to ensure safe progressions of training for our dancers.

Adult Programs

We offer a progressive adult program for both beginner and experienced dancers. Dance classes help relieve stress and improve physical and mental health. These are also a great way to slow down from a busy week and focus in on being present. Our adult programs are truly transformational — inside and out!

Leadership

Each month, our school focuses on a specific leadership principle. With guidance from our teachers, students explore how applying that skill enhances our dance practice and our success in social, academic, professional, and family life.
