Ballroom Is Back!School Philosophy

Our goal is professional dance instruction in a non-threatening, non-competitive environment. We balance technical training with each individual’s creativity for total dance enjoyment. The emphasis of our program is learning technique and concepts rather than dances, however the children’s Spring quarter will include choreography in preparation for a Spring studio performance.

We offer beginning classes for students with no prior training. Continuing classes enable further skill development. Our highly trained and experienced staff have a comprehensive knowledge of Anatomy and Kinesiology to ensure a training that is based on proper execution and injury prevention. Class size is limited so each student receives individualized attention.
