Once Upon a Dance offers dance instruction to all ages. The primary focus will be on the teaching of CLASSICAL BALLET and modern dance techniques. We also offer HIP HOP, JAZZ DANCE & MUSICAL THEATER. We are committed to providing dance education in an enjoyable, yet challenging learning environment. As a school we are dedicated to helping each student achieve physical excellence and personal discipline, while exploring the art of dance. We believe that through a systematic and step-by-step training program, the student will develop positive self-esteem by achieving clearly established goals. We recognize that each student possesses different strengths and we encourage them to reach for their own personal best effort. We believe this develops strong life skills.
Dancing is an art form, not a competitive sport and our teaching and philosophy will reflect that. The reward for performing is the personal satisfaction gained from the response of an audience. Performance opportunities will be available to all those who are interested. The challenges of dancing promote self-discipline, pride, and confidence by balancing physical development and mental attitude. The Once Upon a Dance staff have an extremely strong combined background in arts management, dance instruction, dance performance, administrative management, education and leadership. Our background and commitment to offering exceptional quality and service to customers without compromise will set us apart from many other dance schools. We are unique in our backgrounds/credentials, degree of professionalism and philosophy.
We believe that a dance education is aimed at developing well disciplined, physically fit, well balanced students who, if not going on to professional careers will be able to apply what they have learned in dance to other areas in life. Dance education develops discipline, concentration, and self confidence and provides a healthy alternative to those who are not sports minded to maintain a high level of physical fitness.
