Academy Dance Season
September – June
Our Academy Dance Programs include Little Sparkles, Ballet, Jazz, and Tap for children and teens.
These year-long programs allow dancers to build confidence, lasting friendships, strong technique, creativity, and unforgettable performance memories throughout the season.
Every new Academy dancer begins with a personal Welcome Visit before attending their first class.
Special Experiences
Looking for something a little different?
Throughout the year we also offer private lessons, birthday parties, summer camps, wedding dance choreography, pop-up classes, and other unique experiences.
We'd love to help you find the perfect fit.
Creative Featured Sessions
6–8 Week Programs
Looking for something without a year-long commitment?
Our Creative Sessions include: Creative Arts (both kids & adults), Adult Dance, Pilates Plus, Drama, Flexibility & Strength, Latin Heat, Specialty classes (like Belly Dancing), workshops, and other exciting seasonal offerings.
Simply choose the class you'd like to join, register online, and you're ready to begin.
Perfect for busy families, adults, and anyone looking to explore something new.
The Academy Welcome Visit
Every journey deserves a warm welcome.
One of the things that makes the Academy different is how every new dance family begins.
Before your child's first class, we'll schedule a personal Welcome Visit.
This relaxed appointment gives us the opportunity to meet one another, tour the studio, answer your questions, and help your dancer feel comfortable before classes begin.
Together we'll:
• Meet Andrea
• Tour the studio
• Help choose the correct dance shoes and attire
• Answer your questions
• Help your child become familiar with the studio before their first class
By the time classes begin, your child won't be walking into a room full of strangers.
They'll already know where they belong.
Our Four-Class Welcome Period
Beginning something new takes time.
For many children, the first class can feel exciting, unfamiliar, or even a little overwhelming. That's completely normal.
Rather than expecting children to decide after a single class, we invite every new Academy dancer to experience their first four classes before deciding whether the program is the right fit.
This gives children the opportunity to become comfortable with their classmates, settle into the routine, and experience what the Academy is truly about.
If, after the first four classes, you feel the Academy isn't the right fit for your child, simply let us know before continuing with the season. We'll refund your tuition, less the classes attended.
After four weeks, classes naturally become more established, choreography begins to develop, and friendships start to grow. This allows us to provide the best possible experience for both new and returning students while maintaining the supportive environment our Academy families value.
Membership Fee
Academy Dance Program registration has an annual Membership Fee.
Rather than simply covering administration, your Membership Fee helps create many of the special moments that make the Academy experience unique.
It helps support our Halloween celebration, Christmas party, keepsake projects, classroom supplies, creative activities, and many of the little extras that build friendships and create lasting memories throughout the season.
Small Classes. Big Encouragement.
Every student deserves to be seen.
To ensure each dancer receives the guidance, encouragement, and personal attention they deserve, class sizes are intentionally kept small.
Once a class is full, we begin a waiting list, so we encourage early registration whenever possible.

FAQ's
We believe one class isn't enough for most children to decide whether dance is right for them. That's why we've created our Four-Class Welcome Period, giving every child time to settle in, build confidence, and truly experience the Academy before making a decision.
No.
Our Academy Dance Programs follow the traditional dance season from September through June.
Creative Sessions run in shorter 6–8 week sessions throughout the year, making them flexible and easy to fit into busy schedules.
We'll go over everything, including our dress code, during your Welcome Visit; including dance shoes, attire, and anything your child will need before classes begin.
Absolutely!
We welcome adults of all ages and experience levels in both dance and creative arts. Whether you're returning after years away or trying something completely new, you'll find a warm, supportive, and encouraging environment here.
