Looking For Dance Classes in Tallahassee?

Three reasons which make us the best choice for you.

Smaller Class Sizes
Our smaller dance classes allow students to get more individual instruction from teachers, and as a result progress at a faster level than in larger dance classes. Our smaller dance classes also ensure that the teacher can catch any problems before they turn into bad habits or improper techniques.

Classes in a Variety of Dance Styles & Methods
Highly qualified teachers with varied training and teaching methods are available to teach dance classes with a broad range of dance formats.

Our Dance Studio Advantage - The "Floating" Professional Dance Floor
All of our dance classes are taught on a "Floating" Dance Floor which rests on a system of high density foam to absorb the shock and impact of regular dance movement. This benefits the students in the dance classes by reducing fatigue and preventing injury that can result from dancing on hard surfaces.  All dance classes use this type of floor.

The top layer of our dance floor surface is a professional vinyl composite "marley" floor similar to the surfaces used in dance classes by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Royal Academy of Dancing in London, England and shows such as Riverdance. This marley dance floor surface has a certain amount of controlled slip to allow for sliding in dance movement, but is not slippery like common tiles found in most other dance studios in Tallahassee.

We offer dance classes in Tallahassee in Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet and Tap.

Jazz and Hip Hop

What is the difference between Jazz and Hip Hop? Jazz style of dance is what is seen in many Broadway type shows such as “Cats”.  It is a more structured, stage style of dance.  Hip Hop is a fast, high energy type of dance seen in music videos and commercials. 

Dance class length is one hour, once per week.  This beginner program allows students to take the 2 most popular forms of dance in one class.  The jazz and hip hop dance class teaches fundamental jazz steps and combines the elements of hip hop moves and contemporary music.  We have found that the combination of jazz and hip hop is ideal for this age.  Students learn the necessary elements of jazz which are crucial to success in hip hop, but also get to learn hip hop moves which require the coordination and balance learned from jazz.  When students complete this dance class they are ready to progress to dance classes that specialize in each style.
