Greetings!

Summer is giving way to fall and that means we are in full-swing preparing for our annual performance of The Nutcracker!

If you are a performer, please be sure to check out The Nutcracker page on the website weekly for details regarding Saturday rehearsals. Please arrive at the studio at least 10 minutes prior to the listed rehearsal time. We have very limited rehearsal time and our success depends on everyone’s timeliness!

Adult Division Summer Classes
Looking for a fun way to stay in shape and learn something new? Consider our adult division class offerings! You must register for classes in advance -- no drop-in's. The cost is $15/class. 

Adult Tap
Mondays from 7:15 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.
This fun class will focus on proper instruction of how to articulate your feet and ankles. Drawing on concepts from both Broadway Tap and Rhythm Tap you will explore musicality, rhythm, and syncopation.
Adult Ballet
Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Our adult classes offer strong technique with the opportunity to move across the floor in every class. The open level ballet classes are designed for students with at least a basic understanding of ballet technique. Our highly qualified instructors will offer variations for different levels of experience within this class.
Beginning Adult Ballet
Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.
Perfect for adults new to ballet or returning to ballet after a long hiatus. Loosely based on the Vaganova curriculum, our adult classes offer strong technique with the opportunity to move across the floor in every class.
In addition to being a great mind-body workout, dancing promotes cardiovascular fitness and good posture. Remember that regular physical activity keeps your body and brain healthy as you age. Read on for some of the many benefits of dancing. Dancing can help:

  • strengthen bones and muscles without hurting your joints
  • tone your entire body
  • improve your posture and balance, which can prevent falls
  • increase your stamina and flexibility
  • reduce stress and tension
  • build confidence
  • provide opportunities to meet people, and
  • ward off illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, and depression

So if you're tired of the treadmill and looking for a fun way to stay fit and healthy, it might be time to kick up your heels!
