Our Flinging Friends Guarantees

Defined Curriculum for Continuous Progress

At two 60-minute classes each week, dancers are learning new things, improving their technique, and advancing through a structured syllabus.

Personalized Feedback for Every Dancer

Each dancer leaves class with specific corrections and goals, ensuring individualized attention and measurable progress. Parents can access detailed notes through our Portal, helping them stay informed about what their dancer is learning and what they can improve on.

Opportunities Across All Areas

Dancers can participate in competitions, performances, exams, leadership programs, and community events to explore their interests and grow their skills.

Individual & Team-Based Practice Challenges

Dancers can work towards completing a set number of at-home practice hours to join the coveted "Practice Crew", which encourages self-discipline and independent hard work. Then, classes build their teamwork and accountability as they work together to log practice hours on a board and win a class party.

Individualized Dance Journeys

Each and every dancer’s path is tailored to their personal goals and progress, ensuring their unique needs are met and celebrated.

(Psst! Sure, it’s “just a dance class” but don’t be fooled. This is so much more than two hours each week. Over the year, your dancer will make friends their age, find opportunities they’re excited about, and gain confidence through structured curriculum. The best part? These skills (and memories) go way beyond the studio and into everyday life)

I can't begin to express the amazing experience dance has been for my daughter. Nicole cares about each of her students progress and success. Nicole is passionate about her students and dedicated to seeing them reach their potential. Her belief in them helps them believe in themselves and it's amazing to see their confidence shine through. I am very grateful for the role she plays in my daughter's life.
