As you nail those tricky moves, you'll level up in no time. If you want a class that's fun, upbeat, and lets your creativity shine, come join our HIP-HOP crew!

Our studio has limited space; therefore, we ask parents to drop off and pick up at the door. There will be a virtual observation time where you will be able to see your child's progress throughout the season. Having parents in the lobby prevents the child from connecting fully to their dance teacher which causes year-long issues. We usually keep the windows closed in early-level ballet classes for the following reasons: 1) students continuously peek out to see their parent is watching which distracts from the class, 2) students who see a parent want to leave class 3) students whose families are not watching them begin wondering why their parent isn’t watching. All Classes with 10 or more students will have a teaching assistant to assist the class.
