Dance Programs For All Ages
Dance Programs For All Ages
Beginning or experienced adult dancers are welcome at the Henry Academy of Dance! Join our school's ballet levels program and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of dance at any age.
WE HONOR the long-standing tradition of classical ballet training, and preserve the methods of the Russian technique in our dance school. Instruction of complimentary styles such as jazz, lyrical, and contemporary dance is supported by a well-founded, consistent ballet background.
WE BUILD our dance classes to support the current physical and technical ability of our dancers. The children's and beginner's dance classes introduce basic body awareness and control. These classes also provide a foundation of skills and vocabulary for future advanced dance classes. Older students master precise dance technique within our school's carefully designed syllabus that demands the proper development of the musculature.
WE CREATE opportunities for lifelong success as a dancer. In our dance school's advanced levels, our students are held to, and perform at, the highest technical, professional and artistic standards expected for finishing schools, universities, and professional companies.
WE VALUE quality training and the individual success of each and every one of our students! In our school, students benefit from highly trained instructors who have studied dance pedagogy and continue their own education. As a result, our dancers develop a deep understanding of technique, dance history, artistry, and a lifelong love and appreciation of dance and the arts.
WE CONSIDER dance a way of life and prepare students to successfully face the highlights and the challenges involved. Our school promotes an environment that supports a healthy love of dance that will follow students throughout their lives.
