Where Dancers Build Strength, Confidence, and Friendship
Tween dancers gain essential tools for success through structured training in posture, coordination, and controlled movement. Our classes emphasize safe practices, body awareness, and technical progression, setting dancers up with a solid foundation for future styles and stages.
With each new step, leap, and combination, dancers build more than just ability—they build confidence. Our instructors support tweens in setting and achieving personal goals, helping them discover what they’re capable of both on the dance floor and in everyday life.
Dancers thrive in a place where they feel seen, valued, and supported. Our Springville and Delevan studios are home to a tight-knit community that celebrates effort, encourages growth, and creates meaningful friendships through shared experiences in class.
Watch Your Dancer Grow in Skill, Confidence,
and Character
Our Tween classes are designed especially for dancers in grades 6–8 who are ready to build on their foundations and explore new styles with focus and joy. From the discipline of Ballet and the musicality of Tap to the energy of Hip Hop and the creativity of Contemporary and Jazz, every class nurtures both personal and technical development. Students also gain strength and control in Acro, and stage presence through Musical Theatre and Pom. Each week brings new steps, steady progress, and encouragement from passionate instructors. And at the heart of it all? A dancer who feels proud to shine in both our Winter Showcase and end-of-year recital.
Rooted in ballet, jazz, and modern technique, lyrical dance teaches tweens to express music and emotion through movement. Classes emphasize fluidity, musicality, and storytelling—ideal for dancers who want to connect deeply with their performance.
Contemporary encourages creative exploration and grounded movement. Dancers build strength and control through techniques like suspension, release, and floor work while learning to use their breath and body as expressive tools.
A fundamental class for all dancers, ballet develops proper posture, alignment, and discipline. Using both Cecchetti and Vaganova methods, students practice barre, center work, and combinations that support technical advancement across all styles.
Jazz is high-energy and packed with personality. Tween dancers sharpen their skills in isolations, kicks, turns, and leaps while building flexibility and coordination through progressions, center work, and strength conditioning.
Acro blends classic dance with tumbling elements like cartwheels, back bends, and walkovers. Focused on strength, balance, and flexibility, this class helps dancers safely build their acrobatic vocabulary and integrate skills into choreography.
Fast-paced and full of attitude, hip hop lets tweens explore musicality and individual style through street dance, funk, and jazz-inspired movement. Class includes isolations, footwork, and freestyle moments to keep dancers energized and engaged.
Tap challenges dancers to create rhythm with their feet. Tweens learn terminology, timing, and step combinations that sharpen coordination, musicality, and focus—all while having fun “making music” with movement.
A dynamic fusion of dance, drama, and storytelling, Musical Theatre helps students bring characters and choreography to life. Through acting games and stage presence exercises, dancers grow more confident and expressive on stage.
