Dance lessons are offered by age group for toddlers age 2.5 -3.5, kids age 3.5-7, children age 8 -11, teens age 11-15, or adults 15+ at various dance skill levels, including pre-beginner dance foundations classes. Our classes run in seasons, fall, winter, winter/spring, spring and summer.  You can enroll at anytime during the season. Additionally, teachers may provide private instruction to students. Teaching dance is done with both teacher modeling and verbal explanations. Warm-up activities help students get ready for class by getting their bodies ready to learn dancing moves safely. For beginners to learn how to dance, teachers break down the steps  very carefully, repeating steps many times with great patience. The final assembly of these components enables dancers to carry out a whole routine.

Everyone who takes dance knows that it's benefits include developing elegance and poise, discipline, physical fitness. It improves their posture, rhythm, coordination, and ultimately their confidence. It's a wonderful place to develop friendships and our classes are non-competitive.

Adults also enroll in dance courses to keep up with the latest moves, get in shape, exercise, experience a performing art firsthand, and to indulge in fantasies.

Parents enroll their children in dancing lessons so they can gain elegance and poise, discipline, physical fitness, improve their rhythm and coordination,  and improve peer interaction. Many men and boys are drawn to jazz and hip-hop and shuffle dance classes. We welcome all genders, all ages and all bodies. 

Other names for dance instructors include dance educators, dance teachers, and more. Dance teachers train and coach students in dance, including choreography, performance, and technique in their instructional methods.

Ballroom, jazz, and flamenco are just a few of the dance forms that dance instructors teach. For dance recitals or concerts, they choose the music and choreograph performances. Our instructors teach group and private dance lessons at our Seattle and Shoreline dance studios. 

Our dance classes start at the beginning level and progress throughout the season. Beginning classes allow for students to start with no experience.  We offer advanced levels in all seasons of classes. You can purchase a class card  if you are in between levels and our teachers will help you find the right class.

Ballet is one of the more challenging dance styles in terms of the level of commitment and discipline needed. It has examination procedures within each of the various traditions for the progressive education of dancers, including the Cecchetti Method of classical ballet training, the Royal Academy of Dancing, the August Bournonville School, the Vaganova Ballet Academy, and the School of American Ballet. It also has sequential, standardized curriculum teaching methods. Even modern dance has its own pedagogy (for example, the technique taught at the Martha Graham Conservatory of Contemporary Dance or at the studios of Erik Hawkins, Merce Cunningham, and Alvin Ailey).

Through videos, people can take "dancing classes" with a teacher in the comfort of their own homes. Our Any Day Ballet  offers an excellent and popular beginning ballet course, for example that students ages thirteen and up can take from home via on demand video. You can learn at home with many how-to books that detail proper dance floor behavior and codify a dance form's regulations. The amount of material in books on how to execute individual steps, their combinations in dance phrases, and phrases in the entire dance has increased over time.

From kindergarten to college, classes in modern dance frequently emphasize original choreography. Students learn how to combine the three basic components of dance—time, space, and effort in gesture and movement—in these classes in order to create artistic dances. Then, students are given issues to resolve through their own choreography, such as how to portray a specific idea.

For all Creative Dance, Pre-Level and Children’s classes students who are enrolled in our classes we do have a class dress code that must be followed. You can see the class dress codes here. We do not expect anyone taking a trial make any purchases. It is ok if you do not have attire matching our dress code for the first day of class. You can also check our swap box at each of our studios for donated outgrown leotards and shoes.
