We believe that young dancers are put into boxes too early in their dance careers which inhibits them from reaching their fullest potential.
As a multigenre dance studio, we have experienced/witnessed first-hand the benefits of participating in more than one dance style for young dancers. Each style has its own unique elements that can contribute to a well-rounded dancer. By participating in multiple dance classes, our students develop amazing musicality, technical ability, physical strength and flexibility, and exceptional performance skills. These skills are not isolated to dance alone. Your children will learn many vital social and personal skills such as teamwork, discipline, dedication, motivation, time management, self-confidence, and the ability to freely express themselves.
Ballet
The most fundamental genre of dance for any young dancer. Ballet teaches control, posture, and fluidity as well as self-discipline and listening skills.
Ballroom
Dancers learn to work with partners, playing both leads and following roles, problem-solving, conflict managing, and having a good giggle at the same time. Ballroom dancing also teaches directionality and spatial awareness.
Creative Movement
Students explore movement through music and movement while simultaneously developing motor skills, coordination, spatial awareness, and balance.
Tap and Hip-Hop
These styles focus on musicality, body isolation, and percussion as well as performance skills and characterization.
Tiny Tumblers
Combining skills from acrobatic and break dancing students will learn to forward roll, backward roll, handstand, and cartwheel all while stretching and strength building young bodies in a safe, exciting space. This develops trust and confidence for later, more challenging skills.
