Mission & Values
We empower children in our area to discover their passion for dance through a high-quality, comprehensive education.
Our classes feature exemplary training in The American Ballet Theatre's Curriculum, taught by certified ABT instructors, alongside diverse Modern & Contemporary techniques like Graham, Horton, and Limón, taught by educated and experienced teachers in these styles. We offer expert instruction in the Giordano Jazz Dance Curriculum, taught by NGCP Certified Instructors who have studied the pedagogy. We aim to provide consistently excellent instruction and the development of solid technique in every class style. ​
​
We teach growth-mindset. Mistakes are ok and are the path to success, in dance and in life. We believe in empowering our students to embrace challenges, persist through setbacks, and learn from mistakes. Cultivating a belief that their abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work leads to children who are more resilient, motivated, and engaged in their learning.

We cultivate artistry and performance excellence by offering multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. Performing is fun! We want to make sure our children are given opportunities to showcase their hard work.
​
We ensure all aspects of the learning experience, including music, costuming, and instructional techniques, are age-appropriate. The safety of their developing sense-of-self is a priority. ​
Our teaching is intentionally developmental. We don't just teach steps; we understand the physical and social-emotional stages of your child, tailoring our instruction and expectations accordingly. By knowing precisely when and why to introduce new skills, we provide the foundational successes that build genuine self-esteem. When children are empowered with achievable steps, their love for dance – and for themselves – flourishes.
​
Our nurturing and inclusive environment will allow each individual to reach their full potential as dancers, artists, and performers, in a joyful learning experience!
