Goals
It is our desire to give children a a fun and enjoyable environment where they can be creative through dance and music. Where little ones can have a positive intro to ballet. We are a Christian based dance academy, so some worship music will be played, and prayer will be a focus at the beginning of each class. Critiques are given to build up our dancers. Technique is taught progressively. We will strive to work together as teachers and families to provide the best dance experience for your child.
