It doesn’t matter where you’re starting—whether you’ve never danced before or you’ve worn out a dozen pairs of dance shoes. Whether you’re looking for a fun recreational class, personalized private lessons, or a more challenging competitive experience—you’ll find the right fit at our School of Dance.
Welcome to your new dance home.
FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM
Build skills, confidence, and a love for dance. This recreational program welcomes all students with no prerequisites. Dancers are placed by age and may explore any discipline without a minimum class requirement.
EXPERIENCED PROGRAM – New for September 2025
This program bridges the gap between our Foundations and Accelerated programs. It’s designed for recreational dancers who want a more focused experience, including the option to join a pre-competitive team with lighter commitments and fewer prerequisites than our full Accelerated program. Dancers are placed by age and skill level (Assessments for placement available).
ACCELERATED PROGRAM
For dancers ready to take their training to the next level. This structured track involves a minimum of two classes per week, with a focus on skill development, exam preparation, and competition opportunities. As students progress, weekly training commitments increase accordingly. Dancers are placed by age as well as skill level. (Assessments for class placement available)
