Small Studio Performance is a useful tool in the development of dance artists.  Although some philosophies of training only allow the advanced dancers to perform, our philosophy is to provide various performance opportunities for all dancers.  Performing requires a different set of skills than taking class, and it is these skills that we value in dance: • personal artistry in the approach of dance as an art form rather than merely to showcase skill and tricks, • mastery of age and level appropriate movement steps and styles as accomplished through the repetition required to reach performance level, • development of the personal confidence and self-assurance through setting and accomplishing performance goals.
