Introducing Professor Pirouette!
We created the Professor Pirouette program to engage children in academics through dance! It's our belief that children can love to learn math, science, reading and writing as much as they love dance. This program follows N.C. Curriculum Standards and will focus on literacy, mathematics and science, and learning grade-specific concepts through dance - moving, reading, choreographing and more.
We offer in-person six-week sessions, taught by Miss Devin or Miss Lindsey, for each elementary grade level K-5.

"It's a wonderful way for the kids to be engaged to dance in a different element. Really trying to get them to understand the terminology with concepts they learn in school."
