Services
For all dancers there is a time to perform and a time to be self absorbed, learning about the body through the pleasure and freedom of movement.
Classes are closed to visitors.
Parents are asked to wait outside the classroom to free the children to take risks with movement, to focus on their feelings and to perform for themselves, not for others.
Concentration, focus and understanding are easier for students when the class can proceed without interruption.
We make every class focused by closing out the outside world to make dance the center of attention.

The energy in a classroom is created by the people in it.
Having pride in our body, learning to control it and developing it to look our best are just a few of the benefits you get from dancing with energy.
From the moment you enter the room, have energy and keep moving.
Do not sit or lean against the barres or walls in class.
Those bad habits cause your muscles to cool down, your blood to stop circulating and you become slugish.
It is also important for you to develop good eating habits before coming to class.
