Theater is for ages 8 and up. The goal of our theater program builds skills not only in acting, but overall performance for both dancers and public speakers. Students do not have to be enrolled in a dance class to be in theater. Registration periods for theater are generally done in the summer months. Theatre costs are separate from dance tuition.

Amy's School of Dance competes in regional events in central Iowa. Competition students must audition each summer and are then placed in small groups based by age and abilities. In addition to group dances, we also have solo and duet entries competing, as well. Dancers must compete with a team to be eligible to compete a solo or duet.
