About
Our Mission is to equip, encourage and empower your little stars, to thrive throughout life, with purpose, passion and power!
When a child lends himself to the discipline of dance, he or she gains tools for life long success in whatever they choose to do. The education of Dance supports the child in growing a healthy image of self and reinforces to the child, the importance of standing tall and taking their space in the world. Through this creative outlet, each child is extended the opportunity to practice healthy relationships, beginning with themselves, that will help to exhibit positive roles within their communities and beyond.

I teach students all ages. My focus has been ages 3 -5 year old, 6-12 years old.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Inspired by the Disney Movie, "A Wrinkle in Time ", I designed a 10 week course centerd around self love, confidence, team work and fun! My students of 5 years performed beautifully and walked away feeling fullfilled within their work and boosted in their ability to take on new works!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who will not simply teach you to dance for the sake of dancing, but instead seek one that will instill in you the art form of dance and how you can transfer it's discipline across all areas of your life❤!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The number one question to consider is, do I desire to be here (in a particular dance class). With this question answered, I believe the student will come prepared to receive all that the teacher needs them to receive and will be able to give of him/herself fully, in any class.
