Picture
Start Options:
ANYTIME!  We work on your schedule!


We only offer private or semi-private options so that we can communicate in a way that maximizes results for each child. This means more flexibility for you than traditional classes.

It also means your child gets the dedicated attention s/he deserves and your child won't get lost in a classroom environment.

We live in a world where everything and everyone is compared, judged and scrutinized on a daily basis.

“Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will live it’s whole life believing it is stupid.” ~Albert Einstein

How will your child learn to handle him/herself? Will s/he be stuck in a virtual world, unsure of him/herself around others?  Or will s/he learn self confidence, seeing helpful people and opportunities around every corner?

We use dance to teach life skills and develop confidence and self esteem.  Ballroom dance is unique in that is has mental, physical and social aspects that can all be tapped and used to help children of all ages.  In addition, our instructors have tools and training to help children to get to know, and like, themselves better.​

At Heart & Sole Dance, we teach our students to work with their hearts and soles… ballroom itself has interpersonal benefits, and our unique teaching process helps children learn the mental skills to become successful adults!
