OUR MISSION

To instill in our students a love of music and dance; encourage imagination and creativity through classroom technique, performance opportunities and exposure to different genres of dance art.

OUR VALUES

To achieve our goals and to fulfill our mission, we strongly believe that the proper environment is essential.
At Dance It Up!, we offer a warm, caring, nurturing and harmonious atmosphere, where cooperation, open communication, courtesy and respect are our trademarks.

OUR METHOD

We offer a broad range of movement programs for ages 2.5 years to 18.

Major portions of classes are devoted to formal/specific dance instruction, with a gentler approach for the younger students. The dance year culminates in May with our Spring Dance Recital where students ages 5 and up perform on stage.

Our DANCE ‘N PLAY® program, a stepping stone to preschool, is designed to ensure young children (ages 2.5 to 4 years) are not beginning formal training too early. They are gently encouraged to explore movement and imagination. Instruction is geared to provide social interaction in a fun and exciting atmosphere.

Pointe work is authorized by the Director of the Ballet Program.

OUR STUDIO

Dance It Up! has four dance studios that are all heated and air conditioned. Each studio has an observation window and a technology suite for Zoom participation. Our studios are clean and well maintained with suspended floors.

All dancers have access to drinking water, dressing space, and three bathrooms. Bottled water and healthy snacks are available to purchase.

Parents may choose to wait for or observe their dancer(s) in furnished and decorated waiting areas. Parents may also observe in-studio classes remotely via zoom. WiFi is available.
