2020/21 Registration, Schedules, Pricing & Policies

Our Academy family welcomes you and your children with open arms to experience the joy and delight of dance. We take pride in the fact that our studio style is based on nurturing and fostering a love for movement and creativity. This also means that our student-to-teacher ratio is favorable with more individualized attention to each and every beloved student that enters our doors. Our policies are put into place to allow us, as teaching artists, and you as the caregivers, to focus on the quality of instruction provided.

Our class curriculum is based on a normal school-year program. Classes begin in September and continue through May – ending with our annual Spring Recital. The first half the year, dancers will focus on proper technique and skills. In January, instructors will announce recital songs and begin introducing choreography in class.
