THE

What is a preschool class? Our preschool classes consist of classic subjects of tap and ballet with elements of creative movement. Lessons are built around fanciful themes to encourage imagination while building coordination and gross motor skills. Low student/teacher ratio. One of the strongest preschool programs in the nation.

What classes are offered for older children? All students are enrolled in tap and ballet classes. Starting in 2nd grade, students are eligible for jazz which spans the styles of contemporary, hip hop and Pom. Pointe work is offered to intermediate and advanced ballet students.

What performance opportunites are offered? The Dance Gallery performs many times during the dance season. “It’s a Dance Gallery Christmas” is tentatively scheduled for mid-December. Our amazing Major Production will be held in June 2021.

Who will teach my child? Under the direction of owner Karla McNeill, faculty members are degreed in dance, education and counseling. Many have been on faculty for over a decade and are supported by assistant teachers to provide our low student/teacher ratio.

Why choose The Dance Gallery? Our motto “where we have fun, taking dance seriously” allows students of all levels to be welcomed, nurtured and find great joy in making their dance dreams come true. Fantasy and playfulness for our younger students. Training and discipline for everyone who yearns to Dance!

COVID-19 Statement: The Dance Gallery is prepared for all classes to move to an

online teaching format in the event of a COVID-19 exposure, or changes in local health regulations. Please note that there

will be no tuition change for classes that must move to an online format.
