Mission
To develop in each student a love of dance and a solid technical foundation in a positive, structured, nurturing environment.
Performing Companies
We offer four performance companies - Essence, Harmony, Impact, and Inspiration. Our companies are intentionally small so that each student maximizes his or her ability, time, and talent. We offer a Youth Ensemble for dancers in grades 3-8.
Our performance companies are non competition teams. To provide dancers with positive constructive performance experience, we focus on community involvement and service opportunities.
Travel
Each year Kate provides an opportunity for those who are interested to spend a few days or weeks studying at Gus Giordano's acclaimed studio in Chicago.
Guest Artists
Our previous Guest Artist Series has been very successful. We invited guest artists of various disciplines such as ballet, tap, modern, and hip-hop, from locations including New York and Chicago, to choreograph and set pieces for our dancers. We intend to continue the series this year by inviting, yet again, high quality artists from diverse fields and locations to continue to provide our dancers with quality resume experience.
