Classes

Parent & Me welcomes moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians to take class with their young person, ages 18 months - 3 years. Student should not turn three before January of the current school year. Babes will begin learning fundamentals infused with faith. These are 30-minute classes.


Ballet is the foundation of all dance. Ballet teaches us body control and proper technique that will translate to all other dance forms. Therefore ballet is a requirement to take a jazz class.

Jazz is an expressive form of dance that encompasses a variety of different styles of movement. Students will learn standard jazz basics, and have the opportunity to learn various jazz styles which include but are not limited to pop, jazz fusion, musical theatre styles, lyrical jazz, and more!


Musical Theatre Classes will train up singer-storytellers through a variety of musical styles. Singer-songwriters and aspiring artists are welcome to join this class, as well as those who are interested in singing strictly musical theatre styles. What makes this class unique is learning how to use character study to become a storyteller through music!

Acting Classes will train up young storytellers through monologues, poems, self-written work, and/or scenes. Character study for storytelling, infused with faith is the basis of our work.


Adult Classes are for anyone who has graduated high school through the age of 102! We offer ballet, jazz, and acting for the novice, the active performer, or the retired performer. If you are worried about not having time to prepare material outside of class, worry no more! We understand that adulting is hard and we intentionally schedule time in classes to work on material. Come work your creative muscles with us and have some fun!

We reserve the right to change or cancel classes.
