Jumpstart your child’s dance career by enrolling them in a fundamental dance class. Their beginner dance lessons include:

• Creative movement: This course was designed by a board-certified dance and movement therapist and nationally certified psychotherapist. This class will teach basic dance shapes and help children develop preschool readiness skills, including spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and independence.
• Hippity hop: Children ages 3 and up are welcome to join this class that teaches basic hip-hop techniques.
• Ballet: Starting at age 5, children can enroll in fundamental ballet classes that teach terminology, alignment, and musicality. As students learn new skills, they’re welcome to enroll in more advanced dance classes.

If your child is excelling in general dance classes and has a desire to be part of a team, this academy offers a non-competitive group called the Outreach Performance Team, for ages 7 and up. The dancers in this group will perform jazz and ballet-based choreography to assisted living facilities and other venues in the area.
