Our Dance Classes
We offer a diverse range of dance styles for children and teens at every skill level. Our certified instructors bring years of professional training and teaching experience to create supportive, engaging classes where students can discover their passion for movement.
Ballet: Ages 6-18
Ballet builds a strong technical foundation that benefits dancers in all styles. Students learn proper alignment, turnout, and classical technique through structured progressions that match their developmental stage. This classical dance form teaches body awareness and musicality that translates to success in other dance genres.
Pointe: Invitation Only
Our pointe program is reserved for advanced ballet dancers who have developed the necessary ankle strength, core stability, and proper technique. Instructors carefully assess each dancer’s readiness to prevent injury while advancing their classical training at the highest level.
Jazz: Ages 6-18
Jazz dance classes feature dynamic, energetic movements that allow students to showcase their personality. This style emphasizes sharp isolations, controlled leaps, and turns while building rhythm and performance quality. Jazz is perfect for expressive dancers who love to entertain.
“My daughter has attended Dancemakers for almost 10 years, and the sisterhood, technique, and opportunity she has received since being there is amazing. This studio is exceptional in pushing our girls to present their very best while offering them dance skills, social skills, and life lessons that they will carry with them always.” – Angela G.
Hip Hop: All Ages
Hip-hop dancing brings street-style movements into a structured studio environment. This high-energy class teaches students contemporary urban dance styles while encouraging individual creativity and freestyle expression. Hip-hop helps dancers develop confidence and stage presence through age-appropriate choreography.
Lyrical/Contemporary: Ages 6-18
Lyrical dance blends ballet technique with emotional storytelling. Students learn to interpret music through fluid, expressive movements that convey meaning and feeling. This style develops artistic sensitivity and allows dancers to connect deeply with their performances.
Tap: Ages 6-18
Tap dancing turns dancers into percussionists. Students create rhythmic sounds through progressive footwork patterns, developing musicality and coordination. This style builds a strong sense of timing while providing an enjoyable, energetic dance experience.
Kinderdanz: Ages 3-5
Our Kinderdanz program introduces young children to the joy of movement through creative play and structured activities. These classes teach basic dance skills, classroom etiquette, and social interaction in an age-appropriate environment that keeps little ones engaged and excited about dance.
Totz Town: Ages 18 Months to 2 Years
Totz Town welcomes our youngest dancers. Toddlers explore movement through Tumble Tots, which focuses on gross motor skills development, or Twinkle Toes and Tutus, an introductory ballet class designed specifically for developing coordination in toddlers.
“Looking for a dance school? Look no further. Both of my daughters have been enrolled in Dance Makers for a few years now in different classes. Hip Hop and Kindedance.
