Areté [Ahr-i-tey], in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind
We teach Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha, Jive, and more in our ballroom dance program. The genre of ballroom dance is unique, as it is the only form of dance which contains true lead and follow between two people.
Learning to dance for your wedding is fun, engaging, and can be a pursuit to share long after your wedding day. We make your dance lessons comfortable while we create a dance that looks natural and smooth.
Our teachers can help you prepare for competitions. Competing is a great way to show off the skills you've learned and test yourself against dancers from other studios.
Our studio is proud to host an annual showcase for all levels of students to perform for their friends, family, and peers - just like Dancing with the Stars! Having a goal will increase your speed of progress - plus it's fun!
Our adult ballet classes teach a variety of different styles, from classical to contemporary ballet, with a focus on technique, choreography, and musicality. We have classes suitable for all levels, even those who have never taken ballet before.
