Academy of Movement & Music

It's almost time, Academy families! Fall classes begin Monday! We've missed you and can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces and pointing toes!

In case you didn't, it's not too late! The class schedule is up on our website, and you can call the office from 8-3 with questions!

Do you have a busy kid who loves to do all the things? Ballet is a great addition to a young skater, musical theater performer, or athlete's skills. Our ballet basics class is perfect for older beginners (ages 9 and up) and is great for adding into any after-school regimen, since it is only once a week on Mondays. Try it out this fall!

Hold it… did you sign your dancer up for fall classes?

Cute concentration faces!

We hope you’re enjoying summer break, and we can’t wait to see you for the school year!

MAINTENANCE CLASS FRIDAY 7/26 10-11:30

Tati will be teaching a summer upkeep class for levels 7 and up! Suggested donation $15

Pinning flowers, pinning crowns, and pinning sashes!! Yes the getting ready experience of a ballerina often includes lots of last minute costume details.

The June recital is today!! Here are some little forest critters on their way to places before they dance. Nothing beats recital day excitement!

We are at A Day in our Village! Our booth is north of the monument near the tennis courts. Come say hi and learn more about the dance, music, and preschool classes we offer!!

Things we do at the Academy during rehearsal season:

1) watch and cheer on our friends
2) practice on the sidelines
3) shoulder massage chain!

Congratulations to the Academy's graduating class of 2024! You are an incredible group of young women with so much talent. We can't wait to see what you do next!

Warm wishes, your Academy family.
