.

Ballet: The elegant, classical style of dance that places high importance on technique and discipline.

Tots Rock: Upbeat creative movement class for children just beginning their dance experience.

Specialty Classes: Classes such as improvisation, tumbling & flexibility, strength & conditioning, pom, and turns & tricks will take time to focus on those specific aspects of dance.
