There is some flexibility in scheduling; meaning that if there are some morning or afternoons where you aren’t available, we can work around that. However, once your schedule is set with us, it won’t change. You’ll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season.

What we teach:
Most of our classes are ballet, cheer, yoga and hip hop combination classes. We keep our classes fun and exciting for our dancers with our trademark curriculum. Most importantly we want to teach our young dancers to learn the love of dance, and then the technique will follow in the future. Sure, we want you to have some dance experience, but more importantly, can you handle a group of 20-30 kids and love teaching every class. Working with children is something we don’t take lightly, and it’s imperative that you not only enjoy working with children, but that you are incredibly passionate about it. We have a training program to make sure you are confident going into your first class, and every class after that.
We host a recital at the end of each season.
