We train in our two partnership studio locations (Costa Mesa/Irvine) and our satellite classes (Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Anaheim) in multiple genres: Ballet, Jazz, Modern,
Hip Hop, Tap, Worship Arts, Theatre, and more. We serve dancers of al ages and abilities. As a result of our values, we practice safe beauty standards, trauma-aware pedagogy, and family engagement. We provide accessible scholarship programs for all in need, and a mentorship/lea- dership pathway for al students. In addition, we foster dynamic outreach programs to al people through our free annual concerts, our classes, workshops and camps with at-promise youth, and mini concerts at assisted living facilities. We do this all in both secular & faith-based communities.
Our core conviction is that every dance is a prayer, and that Dance is a vehicle to share the message of JOY with all people in communion with God.
