Our Guiding Philosophies
PERSEVERANCE ~ Never give up because something is a challenge! Be willing to take the time and figure it out: perseverance will lead to success.
RESPECT ~ Be polite, kind, and aware of your surroundings. Always strive to treat others as they wish to be treated.
INTEGRITY ~ We are known by our words and actions. Strive to ensure that they convey who you are in all that you do.
DISCIPLINE ~ Sometimes it’s hard to be responsible. Good discipline helps us keep working towards our goals, even when we would rather take a break.
EXCELLENCE ~ We can always continue to grow and improve! Being our best doesn’t mean being perfect, it means always reaching for our potential.

Save the Dates!
As we move into 2026, we have lots of exciting opportunities coming up!
First, mark June 5-7 in your calendars for our Spring Showcase. We will be performing Excerpts from Coppelia and Other Ballets this year. Rehearsals will be beginning soon!
We also want to announce the dates for our summer class offerings:
We will have a condensed schedule from June 15-August 22. More information regarding this schedule and class rates over the summer will be coming soon.
There will be half-day Summer Camps this year for students in Creative Movement-Level II during the weeks of June 15-27 and August 10-22. More information coming soon.
There will be a full day Summer Intensive for students in Level III+ from July 6-August 8. More information coming soon.
There are also some important dates in the fall:
Auditions for The Nutcracker will be held on September 5. These are open to the public and we invite other schools in the region to collaborate with us again this year.
We are reserving two weekends for The Nutcracker this year, November 20-22 and December 4-6. These are tentative dates. Our goal is to perform both weekends in different theaters, allowing us to reach a broader audience and ensure that we have space in the production to work with as many dancers as possible.
Thank you!
