  “I will take what I learn from my teachers at Dance Workshop with me for the rest of my life. Dancing has directly and indirectly molded my personality. It has taught me that doing something that I love can help make a difference in someone else's life. That is a great feeling!”

Curriculum
 
Pre-School and Elementary Dance Combos
3 to 5 year olds have their own classes that deal with their particular age and developmental needs. The dance combination classes combine ballet, tap and tumbling. In addition to learning their first dance steps, the young dancer will also develop skills in being in a class setting and expressing themselves.
Specialized Dance Classes
These graded classes in Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Acro, Lyrical, Modern and Hip Hop provide the level needed for each dancer dependent on ability and experience. They have been designed for the student who would like to concentrate in one or more specific areas of dance.
Acro/Gymnastics
This program is divided according to levels of proficiency and age. Our award winning acro program will provide the necessary training for the student who is looking for improved flexibility or for those involved in cheerleading and dance teams.
Zumba™
Zumba™ Based Fitness Programs - Zumba™ is a Latin-based cardio fitness class. The Zumba suite of classes has something for everyone – Zumba for teens and adults, Zumbatomic for 7 – 12 year old children, Zumba Gold for senior citizens or those new to a fitness program, and Zumba Toning to add strength toning to the cardio workout. These classes combines fun, easy to learn dance moves with fitness and strength training to work every part of the body. And the heavy Latin beat of the music makes the time speed by!
"Mom and Me"
This popular program is a chance for parents to participate in a fun, movement class with their young toddlers. The time is spent socializing, enjoying music, and tumbling upside down. The smiles on the kids as they play with Mom or their special adult is priceless.
Dance Company - The "SuperStars"
These students dance 3.5 to 8 hours a week. Their training is based in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, and gymnastics. They dance competitively as well as representing the studio in various community performances.

Dance Company - The "ShiningStars"
The "ShiningStars" are another performance group which represents the studio at community events. These students attend classes 2 times a week and love to perform. We are proud to have them represent the studio along with the "SuperStars" at Idlewild Park, St. Germaine Festival, Whitehall Community Day, Caste Village Light Up Night and 4th of July Celebration. The "ShiningStars" consist of dancers ages 6-16. Participation in the "ShiningStars" is by invitation and audition.
