Our Programs

Dance Cohort

Our Dance Cohort program offers semester-long dance training at our studio location. Participants engage in weekly classes that culminate in a community performance to showcase their growth. Training styles include ballet, acrobatics, contemporary, hip-hop, and jazz.

Community Workshops

We partner with community organizations to offer engaging one-time and recurring dance pop-ups designed for larger groups, introducing participants to dance, creative expression, and wellness in an accessible, energizing format. We currently collaborate with community centers, churches, schools, and welcome new partners to connect with us to plan a community dance pop-up.
