Alma Dance School encourages ongoing participation for consistency in training and personal relationships, both with fellow students and teachers.
The children’s division is divided into two semesters. Our pre-professional and dance divisions are year-round programs, with payments made in installments.
New students are invited to get started with a trial class. View our class programs and contact us to discuss pricing and class details.
We offer dance classes for ages three through adult. Alma Dance School offers three Divisions of dance training, tailored to meet the individual goals and needs of the student and family. From recreational to pre-professional training, each division is carefully crafted to achieve the dancer’s specific objectives and keep the focus on fun! As the dancer advances, options are provided for more or less training.Â
Alma is a performing school, and all dancers will have the opportunity to participate in two annual productions. Whether you are looking to dance for pure enjoyment or have the dream of becoming a professional dancer, we have the perfect program for you.
The first step towards registering for classes at Alma is to attend a trial class. After the trial class, families will be given a recommendation of the best program/class for their dancer, based on specific needs and goals for their dancer/family. Additionally, the family will be emailed detailed information as to the process of enrolling their dancer via our parent portal. To request a trial class, please click HERE.
The best way for us to place dancers in the appropriate program/ classes is by attending a trial class. The instructor/ directors will evaluate the student and recommend the best program/ class placement for them.
Alma is a performing school, and all dancers will have the opportunity to participate in Alma Dance Theater, NFP annual Nutcracker and Simply Classic Series Productions. These are two high quality productions involving all of our Alma Dance School dancers as well as acclaimed international ballet stars.
Alma Dance School Students: All Alma dancers need to adhere to their program/class dress code. For more information on your dancer’s dress code, please search for your dancer’s program/class on our website and see the requirements.
New Dancers Enrolling: Newly enrolled dancers should have dress code appropriate attire within a week of registration.
Dancers Attending a Trial Class: Dancers attending a trial class can wear any color leotard, tights and ballet slippers that they already own. If the dancer does not have any of these items, the dancer can wear anything that feels comfortable and allows them to move with freedom (T-shirt, leggings and socks are suitable). If the family decides to register post-trial class, information and details regarding the dress code for the dancer classes will be given at the time of registration.
Where can I buy dancewear and shoes?

Our lobby area is very small! In order to avoid a crowded environment, we need to reserve this space for our dancers. Therefore, we will continue with our drop-off and pick-up policy. Parents of dancers ages 3-6 will be provided with a zoom link to observe their dancer while they participate in their in-person class.
We at ADS always focus on our number one concern: the safety of our students, families, and staff. Due to COVID-19, we are taking multiple precautions to keep everyone safe. Dancers, staff, and instructors are required to wear a mask at all times while inside the premises. Hand sanitizer is available in each dance room, and we have changed the layout of our lobby to encourage social distancing and help traffic control. In addition to our already high-cleaning standards, often-touched areas are sanitized frequently while dancers are present in the building.
