Pop quiz! Did you know there's a quiz board in the main floor hallway? Right now we're testing how well we know good student etiquette, what to wear to dance class, and how to treat our classmates. Understanding these basic guidelines helps our dancers develop their skills in a friendly and caring environment.
~The quiz changes now and then, so if you've already taken this one, keep your eye out for the next one!~

Our 2026 June recitals were amazing! Our next big thing will be our annual performance of "The Nutcracker" in December, when Academy dancers ages 6 and up will have another chance to shine on the stage.

Academy recitals are not just class after class lining up on stage to do a routine. Our students perform classical ballets in full costume, lighting, and sets! This Saturday, June 6, we present "Don Quixote" at Riverside Brookfield High School at 4pm. Come see what our students have accomplished this year; seats are still available!

Our Academy ARTS program had a great end-of-year recognition day! This was truly a year of family and community. We were honored to acknowledge eight students whose parents were once Academy students themselves, an extended family with three cousins attending together, and one family who has had at least one preschooler in our program every year for 11 years!
Thank you to all of our students and families for sharing these precious early learning years with us! We hope you will continue to grow creative confidence here through our movement and music programs.
