The Academy (K thru 6th)
The Littles (3yrs – 6yrs) The Bigs (7yrs – 12yrs)
The Academy is our dance training program for our dancers in K-6th grades. It is where the possibilities of movement meet the vibrant energy of young dancers, their powerful voices and curiosity and imagination! Our program caters to students in grades K – 6th, with a special focus on two distinct age groups: the “Littles” (3-6 years old) and the “Bigs” (7-12 years old).
As an educator, I believe in the power of dance to not only nurture physical skills but also to instill confidence, teamwork, and a love for the arts. Our dedicated instructors bring a wealth of expertise to guide your child’s dance journey, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for both the Littles and the Bigs.
The Academy is more than a place to learn dance; it’s a community that celebrates the joy of movement and the boundless creativity of young dancers. Our commitment is to offer a dance education that not only teaches the technical aspects but also cultivates a passion for the art form. Join us for a journey where discipline, creativity, and the joy of dance converge in a sophisticated and enriching experience.
