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 therefore, accomplish 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 18 months to adult.
 

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

​

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.
