"A good ballet class is largely dependent on the instructors. Greg Amato is one of the best teachers in this area. He is in tune with his students and makes ballet exciting and inspiring." - BM
“Finding a good ballet teacher is like finding a good doctor. One who would listen to your questions and provide constructive guidance when needed.
Léna Alvino is one of those ballet teachers who fits that description. Both her beginner and intermediate classes are provided with the same support. She focuses on fundamental techniques and understands adult dancers’ abilities. Dancing with Léna is an absolute delight.” - MA

Tap
This adult tap class offers a vibrant and dynamic way to reconnect with the joy of dance. In this lively environment, participants of various skill levels come together to master rhythm and technique through energetic footwork and syncopated beats. The class typically begins with a warm-up to loosen the body and increase flexibility, followed by a series of progressively challenging tap combinations and routines. With a focus on both technical precision and expressive performance, adults can enjoy a full-body workout while also fostering a sense of camaraderie and creative expression. Whether revisiting a childhood passion or discovering tap for the first time, students leave the class with a renewed appreciation for the rhythm and grace of this classic dance form.​​​​
