A place to find your voice.
And the courage to use it.

Some kids dream of the stage. Others just want to move, make friends, and have fun. There’s a place for both at Second Street—with caring instruction and room to grow at their own pace.

COMPETITIVE & PRE-PROFESSIONAL

For dancers ready
to go further.

Focused training. Thoughtful placement. Space to develop an individual artistic voice.

Our approach emphasizes Vaganova ballet technique, contemporary, jazz, and modern. Dancers are evaluated for placement, with the exception of preschool levels, so training reflects ability and readiness.

Whether dance becomes a lifelong passion or a professional pursuit, we value discipline, teamwork, and a strong technical foundation.

FOR OUR DANCE FAMILIES

A little preparation.
A better dance day.

What should my dancer wear?

Attire and shoes depend on the class and ballet level. Ballet requires the assigned leotard, tights, and ballet shoes, with hair secured in a bun. Jazz, lyrical, and contemporary dancers wear black dancewear with hair secured. Tap shoes are required for tap; hip-hop dancers need clean shoes used only for dance. Confirm your class’s requirements before purchasing.

How do I register?
