Recreational and Performing Arts Programs
Our mission is to provide quality dance instruction in a wholesome environment for dancers at every age and stage of their training. We celebrate the beauty of each dancer, and most importantly, we celebrate the joy of dance!
Quality instruction begins with our qualified staff.
Many of our dance teachers are college graduates with degrees in dance or current college students in the pursuit of a degree in the arts. Many of our teachers are also actively performing professional dancers in the Twin Cities. Their performance experience, continuing educational studies, and higher education degrees inform the classes they teach to instill and inspire excellence out of each student. Classes challenge students to reach their highest potential. Our teachers know dance, love dance, and enjoy sharing that joy with their students.
Our community values A wholesome environment.
We strive to create a wholesome, welcoming environment where music, costuming and choreography are all family-friendly and age appropriate. We believe dance should nurture the whole person - heart, mind, body, and spirit.
Our required dress code helps dancers feel a sense of belonging while allowing instructors to clearly see alignment and technique, supporting safety and quality instruction. To help maintain a focused and comfortable learning environment for all, our modest dress code does not allow exposed midriffs.
We practice grace, kindness, and respect both in and out of the classroom. We leave spaces better than we found them. Our facility is clean, well-lit, and constructed with the highest quality dance floors and mirrors.
We view dance as a celebration of life.
Through the discipline and technique of dance, students are taught they are all beautifully created from the inside out. We want all students to love dancing and for it to free their spirit to be all they were created to be.
Dance encourages self-confidence and poise that carry young women and men gracefully through all avenues of life. Whether you are taking dance for fun or want to dance in a college dance program, we invite you to join us in discovering the joy of dance.
