WELCOME TO PREMIER DANCE SCHOOL!

Since 1998 Premier Dance School has been offering quality training, education and performance opportunities for students ages 3 to adult. We teach classes in Pre-Ballet, Ballet, Point, Character Dance, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Tap. Students at Premier Dance School have the advantage of being surrounded by caring, highly professional and dedicated teachers. While many of our students take classes simply to understand and enjoy the beauty of dance, some students train intensively with the hope of pursuing a career in this artistic field. No matter what each student's individual age, skills or goals are, we believe that the discipline, self-esteem and joy they experience here add a positive, influential energy to their daily lives.

Come dance with us and experience the true spirit of life itself!

Our philosophy

At Premier Dance School we stress the importance of classical ballet training. It is the most demanding, most disciplined of all dance forms; but also the most rewarding. With a solid ballet foundation, classically trained dancers can transfer their skills into jazz, modern dance, or any other dance form they might decide to pursue.

We follow the Russian method based on the Vaganova syllabus. This unique teaching method has been producing world-class dancers and choreographers for nearly one hundred years, among them such luminaries as George Balanchine, Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov and many others. The guiding principles of the Vaganova Method enable a student to develop the flexibility; strength, endurance, muscle memory, discipline, and attention to detail that are essential to his or her growth as a dancer.>>

Every child benefits from quality dance training, even though he or she may ultimately choose another career path. In dance, children learn the cooperative teamwork necessary to produce a high-quality work of art. They develop creative thinking skills and the ability to push themselves to higher achievements. They learn an immense amount about music and rhythm, and are introduced to the French language. They encounter spatial relationships and must think with both sides of their brain while learning to dance. All these skills will enhance your child's academic performance, as well as their physical well-being. A well-trained dancer enters society with the ability to do well at whatever life places before them. They will always have the ability to maintain an uncompromising high standards absorbed during their dance training.

Our mission

Premier Dance School is committed to maintaining high-quality training and providing students of all ages with the skills they need to enjoy dance for a lifetime.
