Choreo Collective NEW!
Choreo Collective is a creative class for dancers enrolled in intermediate level classes or
teen classes who are curious about creating their own movement.Throughout the year,
dancers will learn about dance composition through improvisation, musicality exploration

Why is dress code important?
Wearing the proper dance attire helps create a safe, focused and respectful environment for everyone. It allows our teachers to clearly see dancer’s alignment and technique, which is essential for effective feedback and growth. Following the dress code shows respect for your teacher, the class and the art form. If you have any questions about dress code, please ask instructor Eve.
