All dance classes offered are focused on teaching not only dance but also creating self-discipline and confidence in each and every dancer!
*If dancers are not properly dressed for class they will still be able to participate but will not be corrected by instructors since their body may not be able to be seen correctly with baggy clothes. They will also not be able to be spotted during acro time or perform certain skills because baggy clothes may be a hazard while in action. (Summer classes are exempt from this rule. But please wear tight fitting clothing)
