We've added classes so everyone can shine! All classes are taught by trained and professional teachers and therefore are the most qualified persons to place students in the proper class level for the student's best personal instruction. Dancers must enroll in classes according to their age group. If our facility determines that a dancer's skill level is either below or exceeds their current age group, we will promptly contact you to reassess and adjust class placement accordingly. Our instructors regularly assess each dancer's development to ensure we're best supporting their growth!
"The advancement of dance levels is often not accomplished in simply one year of lessons; in the art of dance is much more intricate and complicated than moving up in levels via a yearly time frame or by age."
Thank you to everyone who voted for us daily for the Record Journal's Readers Choice Awards!
It's because of our passionate and dedicated staff, incredible dancers and supportive dance family that we have won 5 years in a row! We couldn't be more grateful for all of you and to defend our title.
Thank you again for your constant love and support!
