The aim of the Academy is to teach children and adults the joy of dance, whether it be simply graceful movement to music, or working towards a goal such as an examination or performance on the stage. The benefits of dance training include increased self-esteem, pride in accomplishment, a high degree of self-discipline, and an understanding of responsibility to self and others. Good posture and coordination start with basic training along with developing musicality and artistic expression as a child progresses. The ultimate dance experience of performing to a live audience on the stage is enjoyed by every student at the Clarke Academy of Dance.
Our staff is dedicated to the development of children as confident, courteous, self-disciplined, and responsible individuals. The lessons learned in dance class will benefit the students for the rest of their lives.
