Our teaching approach and curricula engage the imagination and nurture the journey of creative exploration. Our students gain a strong technical foundation in dance as well as the confidence and self-discipline essential to learning the art of dance.
Live music is an essential component to classes for young children (through first grade) to develop the students’ musicality and to allow for spontaneity and creative freedom.
Our state-of-the-art facility is located in downtown Homewood and includes five studios, each with two-way glass observation areas.
Our spring performances for dancers enrolled in our September to May 3 year old classes and older are held each May at the Alabama Theatre and are free for family and friends to attend.
