WHAT MAKES APSD DIFFERENT?

STRONG FOUNDATION  

We believe that building a strong foundation is key. Ballet is the cornerstone of all dance disciplines, and APSD offers an unsurpassed program. Our goal is to give students individualized training through the focus of technique and discipline. In addition to providing a solid classical foundation, we also firmly believe in training our dancers to be versatile. We apply the same principles that we use for our ballet program to every genre of dance that we teach. With a strong foundation, our dancers are able to excel in various styles of dance including contemporary, jazz, tap, hip hop and more. 

UNIQUE FOCUS

Dedicated to providing quality dance instruction in a non-competitive environment, APSD values individual excellence over competitions or trophies. We are passionate about helping students find and strengthen the best in themselves, and believe in the innate potential that exists in every student. High technical standards are maintained and a joy of movement and sense of artistry are instilled through encouragement and positive reinforcement. 

FAMILY-FRIENDLY

Ann Parsley School of Dance offers a family oriented atmosphere where movement, music and costumes are tastefully chosen and always age-appropriate. APSD is home to dancers with an array of aspirations. Whether students choose to dance professionally, or move on to other interests, the skills they learn at APSD benefit them throughout life.

PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED INSTRUCTORS

Our faculty are all adult, highly qualified and professionally trained teachers. All of our Cecchetti ballet teachers have taken and passed teacher examinations for the levels that they teach and are certified by the Cecchetti Council of America. Additionally, many of our instructors train teachers throughout the area, and prepare them for Cecchetti Teacher Examinations.

At APSD, we believe that dance can be life changing. Let us show you how.
