Classes
Students will learn together in small groups
with the class method. This is a great method for learning the
fundamentals that apply to all areas of an applied study. Classes will
allow
students to learn together but still be small enough to support
individual attention.
Dance
Aimee Beard & Betsy McMillan | 2nd Floor Rehearsal Hall | Mondays and Thursdays
Psalm 149:3 instructs us to "Praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp." We dance out of joy to praise God for His salvation and for His Son, Jesus. We dance to be a vessel of true worship. It is our desire to teach each student in an environment of faith and excellence. We strive to incorporate biblical principles into each class and provide our students a picture of what dance is designed to be. Please click below for more information.
