DANCE BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION, CONTROL, AND FOCUS
When children take dance classes, their coordination improves quickly. Because young children can sometimes struggle to control their bodies, learning how to dance is a good way to develop gross and fine motor skills
Getting young children to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our dance classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks. Using
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY DANCE CLASS!
Learning dance is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy while teaching them coordination, focus, rhythm, and musicality. Dance classes teach little kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time. Our dance classes provide foundational skills for young dancers, structure, and fun by using themed props.
BALLET, TAP & JAZZ CLASSES FOR LITTLE DANCERS
Classical ballet is one of the oldest forms of dance. Ballet is a dance form that expresses emotion through movement. Since young children sometimes have difficulty controlling their emotions, ballet gives them a healthy outlet for emotions that can feel overwhelming.
Jazz dance combines the techniques of ballet with modern dance and popular dance forms. It’s one of the most versatile types of dance and something that’s fun for students of all ages.
Tap dance introduces children to the world of rhythmic expression by blending movement and musicality. Combining elements of dance and percussive footwork, tap dance fosters coordination and creativity in a playful setting. With its enchanting sounds and energetic spirit, tap dance captures the hearts of budding dancers, providing a dynamic and enjoyable experience for kids of all ages.
HIP HOP CLASSES FOR LITTLE DANCERS
Hip Hop dancing offers little students a unique way to express themselves through movement and musicality. As a form of street dancing, hip hop is flexible and highly personal. Dancers learn how to tell stories and express their feelings through dance.
Hip Hop is a high-intensity dance form that allows kids to release their pent-up energy. When kids take hip hop classes, it helps them manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way. Over time, hip hop dancers build and tone muscles and gain all-over strength that will keep them healthy and help them with other physical activities.

The best dance school in San Antonio! My daughter loves so much her dance classes that’s why I drive 45 minutes one way but it worth it .
Perry N April Perez
The teachers are amazing! Being a former dancer I knew what I wanted in a dance instructor for my daughter. The instructors were so patient and sweet with my almost 4 yr old who was nervous in the beginning. Within a few minutes, our girl was dancing away, smiling and having a good time. Not to mention they made me and my family feel right at home. I’m so happy with my decision to bring her here. She is already looking forward to her next class!

I had fun with my daughter at the mommy and me class. I was able to interact with my daughter and bond doing something we both love. She is now signed up for first steps. I get to bond with her during a class and she gets to take one by herself
