Learn what each style builds, which levels teach it and what to wear.
Ballet builds the strength, alignment and grace every other style stands on. We teach it with care, from a first plié at age 3 to pointe for dedicated teens.
Ballet classes →Acro blends the grace of dance with the strength of acrobatics. As an Acrobatic Arts certified studio, we teach every skill through safe, step-by-step progressions.
Acro classes →Hip hop combines rhythm, movement and creativity in a fun, structured class, with music and choreography that are always age-appropriate.
Hip Hop classes →Jazz combines strong technique with energetic, expressive movement. It's where dancers learn turns, leaps and how to own the stage.
Jazz classes →In tap, dancers make the music. From first shuffles to complex rhythms, they build timing, coordination and focus they can hear improving every week.
Tap classes →Lyrical and contemporary blend strong technique with expressive movement, teaching dancers to connect emotion to music and tell a story.
Lyrical & Contemporary classes →Placement is based on age, skill level, instructor evaluation and readiness. Progress looks different for every dancer, and staying in a level for more than one season is often the best way to build a strong technical foundation before moving up.
Some higher-level or skills-based classes require an instructor's recommendation or a co-requisite class, such as ballet or technique. Our competition teams are placed through summer training, and pointe begins with instructor approval after a pre-pointe workshop.
Every class follows the curriculum of Acrobatic Arts, the Godfrey Method and International Dance Technique, with age-appropriate music and choreography.
Tuition includes weekly classes, recital costumes and accessories, recital participation, dress rehearsals, select recital tights and shoes, and a recital T-shirt. More dancing, fewer surprise fees.
