Flip & Funk

In our Acro Excellence segment, we combine the artistry of dance with the technical skills of acrobatics. This class will help develop strength, balance, and flexibility while dancers continue to explore and develop their artistry. Through group and individual explorations, skill development obstacle courses, and the integration of multi-sensory learning, children will progress equally in this blended art form. Meanwhile, in our Hip Hop Mastery component, we seamlessly weave in movement skills, nurturing the evolution of each dancer’s unique personal movement style. This approach not only cultivates creativity but also establishes the fundamental groundwork for mastering the art of hip hop dance. Join us in a supportive and joy-filled learning environment where we foster creativity and set the stage for the exciting world of hip hop dance.

Twirl & Tap

In our Ballet Excellence segment, we prioritize ballet technique, expertly integrating ballet skills to foster the development of the dance artist within your dancer. As they progress, creativity flourishes, and a solid foundation in ballet takes root. Meanwhile, our Tap Mastery component delves into the realm of tap technique, emphasizing physical growth, musicality, and coordination. We skillfully blend tap skills into the curriculum to nurture the growth of the dance artist and cultivate creativity in a supportive and fun atmosphere.

Dance & Discover

Watch your child’s independence and confidence soar as we explore and discover the benefits of a structured dance class without our grown-ups. Following directions, waiting for our turn, and collectively problem solving will encourage dancers’ emotional and social development. Live singing, musical play, and sensory props will have these little ones moving and grooving with their friends and eager to return to class each week!

Creative Steps

Explore the joy of movement with your little one and discover the many benefits of early childhood dance classes. We will dance, sing, and play in both one-on-one activities and group activities. Through circle songs, open exploration, and gross motor development exercises, children will blossom with each passing class as they grow with their caregiver during this precious time together.
