Classes
Recreational
Mini Climbers- Ballet class for ages 18months- 2 years old. A 30 minute class full of follow along songs and locomotor movement little ones to start their climb into the dance world. We ask that an adult stay in the room during the 30 minutes to help encourage the tiny dancer. Mini climbers also participate in the year end recital.

Classes offered at the basecamp level include, ballet/tumble (ages 2-3), ballet/tap, hip hop/jazz (only ages 4-5), tumbling (only ages 4-5). Basecamp ages 2-3 will have a combination of ballet and tumbling during the 45 minute class time. Basecamp ages 4-5 ballet/tap running an 1hr long to give 30 minutes in each discipline, along with 2 recital dances in each style. Hip hop/jazz and tumble will run for 30 minutes. Base campers (each age) will also participate in a year end recital, tumbling classes do not participate.

Competitive
Competition dance is an exciting and challenging extension of a dancer’s training, designed for students who are ready to take their passion to the next level. In our competition program, titled Peak Elite, dancers commit to a higher level of technique, performance quality, and teamwork while representing our studio at regional and national events.
Peak Elite Dancers train in a variety of styles—including ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, Acro, and lyrical—while learning advanced choreography and performance skills. Beyond the studio, they attend competitions and conventions where they have the opportunity to perform, receive professional feedback from industry judges, and grow in confidence and stage presence.
Our competition team emphasizes discipline, dedication, and a strong sense of community. While awards and recognition are part of the experience, our primary focus is on personal growth, artistry, and building lifelong skills such as responsibility, resilience, and teamwork.
Whether a dancer dreams of a professional career or simply wants a more immersive dance experience, our competition program offers a supportive and inspiring environment to thrive.
