We are dedicated to developing beautiful young dancers from ages 3 to 20. We emphasize positive self-image, correct technique, physical strength and flexibility, self-expression through dance and an understanding of the art of dance. All dancers have the opportunity to perform in our annual recital. Students in the individual class levels are eligible to audition for lead roles in addition to their class dances and participate in our December performance of The Nutcracker. Older students have performance opportunities throughout the season including local shows and one out of town nationally adjudicated competition.
