Great for building confidence, providing an outlet for creativity, invention, and social interaction, drama teaches kids essential life-skills. Jon teaches in an environment of encouragement and acceptance, drawing out the creativity of each child. Drama is also a great adjunct to dance training and is vital in developing the stage presence of the young dancer.
 

Hip-Hop:

That edgy, funky style seen in popular media. We teach Hip-Hop in a wholesome way that does not introduce kids to inappropriate music or movement. Hip-hop has its roots in African tribal culture and is great for the kid who loves to jump around! Anyone can learn and excel in hip-hop and it is a wonderful source of joy in life.
 

Jazz Dance:

Foundational stage dance technique. High energy, theatrical, kids love dancing to famous show tunes and pop songs. Jazz is an accessible type of dance that anyone can enjoy. Our Jazz classes ensure that your child only learns steps and wears costumes that are appropriate to their age.
