Classes will start the week of October 5th!!! Cosmetically we are not ready....however, we are still starting classes! Please keep in mind that we still need to replace a ceiling , paint etc...so pardon the decor!!! :) If you have not yet registered, we prefer you do so prior to coming to class in order to minimize the confusion..It is hard to put a class roster together when we don't know your child will be there! If you have paid your first payment....your next payment will not be due until November, however your installment fee will be slightly higher, due to the fact that we have to reconfigure payment plans because of the delay. Classes will be guaranteed, however yearly fee will be broken down into 9 payments instead of 10- this will make your payment per month slightly higher ( around $5) because we are spreading out one payment over nine months. We did not think that it was fair to ask for two months of payments when we are just starting classes,so we surveyed some parents and came up with this solution. We didn't anticipate the tremendous delay, and look forward to starting classes! :) ~Shannon Smith, Director

Classical Ballet, Pointe and BalletFit Instructor – Alicia Washburn What can dance training do for your child?
Dance, when introduced during the growing years, contributes significantly to physical and motor development, grace, poise, and self-reliance. Not only does the association with other young people and performance on stage contribute strongly to personality development and the growth of self-confidence, but the cultural benefits open the door to self enrichment for many years to come. Our Values and Goals:
It is the desire of this school to develop in each student a love for and a skill in the art of dance according to individual ability so that dance experience plays an exciting part of the student’s life and education. We value the opportunity to be a part of each of our student’s lives. Along with providing the best possible dance training for each student, we encourage positive traits such as high morale, high self esteem, self pride, responsibility, self discipline, team work, concentration, perseverance and most importantly the realization that if they work hard, they can achieve. We believe that children are our future and our most precious resource. They should be exposed to high quality and excellence in all they do. They need to understand that Success in anything is not about being the best, but trying your best! Our goal is to not only provide inspiration, but to give each child and family a life long appreciation of the arts. We use age appropriate costumes, choreography and music... we want to help our students stay KIDS as long as possible! We happily contribute to the development of not just good dancers, but of good citizens and caring people. Our new season begins (hopefully) the week of September 21, 2009 Please click HERE to view our schedule and to register for classes To see our schedule of events this year click HERE To the parents…
