“I love that we can offer a safe place for kids to move, groove, and dance.
Whether that is intensive training, an activity to get you sweating, or a place to express your love for dance. We have options for everyone!”
— Cayla Ellis

Preschool Classes (Ages 2-4)
Preschool classes are a great introduction to dance and for many, it is their first activity away from parents and guardians. Our studio provides a welcoming and nurturing space for preschool-aged dancers to take their first leap of independence. We explore basic dance steps that help develop crucial cognitive competencies such as attention span and fine motor skills. With years of experience, Miss. Cayla creates a small-group classroom environment that prepares preschool-aged children for their next steps.
Our Tiny Tot class contains ballet, jazz, and creative movement. The purpose of the class is to introduce young dancers to the styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. The use of props such as hula hoops, butterfly wings, magic wands, and more make the end of class the most fun!
In addition to Tiny Tot Ballet classes, we also have Tiny Tap, Tiny Tot Ballet/Tap, Tiny Tot Ballet/Tumble, and Tumble Tots!
Parents can watch classes from our viewing window.

General Program (Ages 8+) | Non-Competitive
Does your child love dance, but is also exploring other interests such a playing basketball, taking voice lessons, and taking art classes? Is your child interested in dance because it’s a fun way to socialize while moving and grooving?
If so, our General Program is the perfect fit for your child. The General Program offers a variety of classes without the commitments of competitive dance. With class options such as ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and acro, students can grow as dancers, try multiple styles, and enjoy dance in a low-stress, positive environment.
Each class in our general program will perform in the Year-End Showcase at the Dekker Centre for Performing Arts. Dancers in the general program do not compete in any festivals or competitions.

Competitive Program (Ages 7-18) | Grade 2 - Pre-Competitive
| Grade 3/4 - Advanced - Competitive
Annette’s School of Dance is pleased to offer competitive jazz, tap, lyrical, open, hip hop, contemporary, and acro classes for dancers wanting to reach higher levels in performance and technique. This program is designed for dancers who are interested in a concentrated and focused study of dance. Students will perform in 2-3 competitions per season where travel may be required. Attending competitions requires commitment by all dancers. We really focus on team mentality, being inclusive, and bonding as a dance family.
Competitions give dancers the opportunity to get on stage during the year and have friends and family cheer them on.
