Our Mission at Ballerinas Academy of Dance

First, to introduce a long lasting love of dance to the very young. Rather than centering our program around a series of yearly dance competitions where training is often limited to a competitive style and attitude, we focus our program on dance as a performing art. Your daughter or son will learn to challenge themselves and enjoy the art without the stress that comes from being judged or compared to someone else.  In our experience, the artistic expression and self discipline alone, gained from ballet training helps to develop and strengthen the character of our young people. We know that a child’s first experience in dance class can determine what their future attitude and appreciation for this wonderful art will be.  Our goal is for them to learn to love dance as a small child.  As they progress in their training and are challenged more in class, they will gain a true appreciation for their hard work and will ultimately gain satisfaction from their accomplishments. Performing is a vital part of any dancer’s training, so unlike most studios, we offer two annual recitals instead of one.

Secondly, we are dedicated to helping the serious dance student to reach their dance related goals. There are those on our faculty that have been successful in preparing students for careers in dance and all are determined to give each student the individual training and attention they will require to be successful. We are continually looking for ways to meet the serious student’s needs.
