Now she’s back and joining us on Monday evenings to teach Pre-Pointe for Teens! We’re so excited for our dancers to have her experience and energy back in the studio.

These are the moments we’ve missed.
Learning together. Working hard. Laughing with friends. Trying again. And becoming a little stronger with every class.
Season 37 starts MONDAY.
Every dancer starts somewhere! At SSA, our youngest dancers can begin at age 2 with creative movement and early ballet foundations, then grow through our graded ballet syllabus as their technique, confidence, and love of dance develop.
This video takes you from our 2–3 Year Old Ballet dancers all the way through Secondary 2 Ballet at recital. Come grow with us!
Enroll today for Season 37.

We’re excited to officially welcome Miss McKaylah to the SSA family!
We first met her at the KSU Dance Festival, where her energy and presence leading the morning icebreaker immediately caught our attention. After having her join us as a guest teacher for our Summer Intensive the past two years, we knew we wanted more of that energy at SSA!
This season, you’ll find Miss McKaylah in the studio on Wednesdays teaching Stretch/Flex & Leaps/Turns, Intermediate Jazz, Advanced Lyrical, and Advanced Intermediate Jazz.
We can’t wait for our dancers to train with her all season long!
