About us

Opening in 2008 inside Quapaw Community Center, Hot Springs School of Classical Dance has quickly become known as the premiere studio for classical dance training in Hot Springs. The School has grown exponentially, and now has a new location with two large studio spaces! The School is expanding its repertoire of classical Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Acrobatics, now offering Hip Hop, Musical Theater, & Dance Team preparatory classes. For ages 3 & up.

We are very excited to contribute to the arts in Hot Springs! We use a graded curriculum in a professional atmosphere in order to build a foundation that will produce a love of dance and a complete dance education.

Our Curriculum

Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance. Classes in preparatory ballet are offered for three, four, and five year olds. The emphasis is placed on musicality, creativity, and coordination, as well as basic body and feet positions. This is the time to start building a love of dance, preparing the child for the time when she is physically and mentally ready to begin formal training. Our formal training begins around age six, focusing on proper body alignment, strength, and extension. Pointe work is taught to students who are at least ten(10) years of age and who have had the required pre-Pointe classes. Transfer students may request placement into Pointe classes; however all decisions will be made at the director's discretion.

Tap

Tap is for all ages. Tap dancing develops exact rhythm and timing and is important in the overall training of a dancer.

Jazz/Theater Dance

Classical Jazz is taught to students age 7 and up. Focus is placed on rhythm, body awareness and manipulation, and style.

Acrobatics

Basic Acrobatics is included in both preparatory ballet classes. This helps in limbering the body and developing coordination, as well as giving the student a sense of accomplishment when she achieves a new trick. More advanced classes will form on demand.

Recitals

The School of Classical Dance will have a recital each year at the end of May. We will occasionally have a mini-revue during the year to showcase our progress. However, students should never perform at school or elsewhere until they have had at least one year of training. The School should also be informed of any program in which the student is invited to participate. We will be more than happy to work with them, as their performance is a reflection of the School, and it is of mutual concern that the dance be well rehearsed.

Placement

The placement of any student must be left entirely up to the director. A graded system and placement of students according to training, age, and ability guarantees the steady progress of each class and the self-confidence of the student. Promotion to more advanced instruction is considered on the basis of individual achievement.
