Turning Pointe School Of Dance

Recreational Ballet classes are held once-a-week for ages 3 and older. Our curriculum focuses on fundamentals of the style along with class etiquette and self-discipline in a supportive and fun, Christian environment. Classes run through the school year. Students perform a dance for the parents at the end of class in November to kick off the Christmas season and also perform in the End of Year Showcase.

Our beginner ballet, jazz, hip hop and musical theatre classes provide fun, family-friendly, energetic ways to explore a love of movement, and introduce dance technique in that selected genre. No experience is required and dress code may be any color leotard and tights, or a plain fitted tee shirt and leggings. Shoes not required for summer dance camp. Our highly trained teachers are eager to share their expertise and love of dance with students.

Training Division is the Lakeshore’s preeminent pre-professional ballet and contemporary dance program, and designed for dancers who seek a deeper commitment to their training.
