His Feet Dance
Class Descriptions

As a recreational dance studio, we have a gentle, encouraging approach to teaching, but we also focus on technique and proper form in all areas of dance. We strive to give the first fruits of our talents to worshiping God with our whole selves, and to show the world His truth and goodness through beauty.

Our curriculum is based on the Cecchetti method for ballet. Beginners and experienced dancers will be placed as well as we are able and will be asked to give their very best in class and to show sportsmanship to their classmates no matter where they are placed, as though their classmates were Christ. Please contact Carissa if you are unsure about the placement for your student.
