Welcome to Sound Movement Arts Center!
Our mission is to deliver high quality dance and performing arts to the community. We provide a positive studio environment with educated and gifted instructors who focus both on technique and the individuality of each child. We offer a nurturing yet challenging atmosphere that will propel students to reach their potential as performing artists and individuals.
Thank you for choosing Sound Movement Arts Center for you/your child’s performing arts instruction! We trust that you/your child will have a wonderful experience in our positive classrooms.
We offer both Recreational and Competitive programs in a variety of ages, levels and styles (including, bot not limited to: Ballet, Pre-Pointe, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Modern, Ballroom and Acro) for students ages 2.5-high school.
Our Competitive Teams are called Movement Dance Company (MDC) and are comprised of dancers ages 6+ in a variety of dance styles and with varying levels of comittment. Auditions are held in June/July following our June Recitals for the upcoming Season. Click Here for More Info.
Plus, we offer Adult classes too! Keep an eye on our Monthly Newsletters (and socials – Facebook and Instagram) for upcoming classes!
SMAC’s main dance season follows the traditional school year from September to June. We end the season with a spectacular June Recital (on a big stage). It’s a BIG deal and a LOT of FUN for everyone!
We also have an Annual Holiday Show (held in December): The Nutcracker – Act 2, featuring the Movement Dance Company (MDC) Competition Teams and Nutcracker Cast. Sound Movement Arts Center’s “The Nutcracker – Act 2” is a shortened family-friendly version of the original ballet sure to delight children and adults equally. Auditions to be a part of the Nutcracker Ballet production are held in August. Click Here for More Info.
In our Recreational classes, we use the first half of the dance season (September-December) to teach and refine skills in class while also learning small combinations here and there. The second half of the dance season (January-June) continues on with technique training, but we add in the choreography element (a Recital Routine for each class). Click Here to Register!
After the June Recital, we take a short break and then our Summer Session (July-August) Begins!
Sound Movement Arts Center classes are about individual dance accomplishments, not body types. It is our privilege to teach every eager student who comes to class, regardless of size, shape or ability. We look forward to having you/your child in one of our classes!
If you love to dance, we can’t wait to have you as part of the Sound Movement Arts Center family!
