Faculty

Ballet is the main emphasis of the school, as we believe it provides the foundation for other dance forms. We offer classes based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus for children and advanced students. Every ballet student receives written assessment of his or her progress in the syllabus each spring.

For the three and four year olds we offer Creative Movement classes; a unique program of music, imagination, and fun.

Twin Rivers Dance Academy preforms a classical ballet each spring. In the past we have preformed The Pasha & The Pirate, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, among others. Every ballet and creative movement student participates in these ballets, offering them a rare and unique performance opportunity.

Jazz at Twin Rivers is taught at four levels and offers students a sound classical jazz training. We are also offering tap and modern dance, expanding the possibilities for our students to explore other forms of dance.
