The Academy
Weaving Dance Into Life!
Whether an aspiring ballerina (students have been accepted into numerous programs including Joffrey Ballet, Boston Ballet and Houston Ballet among others), a closet 'hoofer' (past workshops have included Gregory Hines!) or you're just looking for a good workout, Tapestry has a place for you! Whether a child or adult from beginner to professional, you can add a little rhythm in your walk within all dance forms. And while you're at it, introduce a friend to the art of dance!
Our programs are aimed at increasing self-confidence and self-expression while focusing on the technique of each discipline. The focus is on guiding and providing the tools necessary for our students to become dancers in the truest sense: through their art, they share themselves with their families and their communities whether for recreation or professional training.

COMBINATION CLASSES
Pre-Ballet/Tap and Creative Movement is an introduction to movement technique for children ages 2-5 within different age groups. Songs, games and props keep young dancers engaged., however, this is not a creative movement class; students will learn the fundamentals of ballet and basic tap concepts and terminology.
RHYTHM TAP
Tap is America's folk dance with roots in Irish step dancing and African Juba. TDC's rhythm tap technique is based on the styles of the first generation 'hoofers' of Vaudeville, jazz clubs and Broadway with the contemporary exploration of the concert stage. Tradition is taught with an emphasis on musicality, relaxation and individuality.
BHARATA NATYAM
The sacred ancient dance from southern India. Originally performed during temple rituals, this highly stylized form is now performed in theaters worldwide. The dance technique reflects traditional aesthetics of symmetry and geometry as well as an expressive element in which hand symbols are used to tell stories. Students will have an opportunity to learn original Sanskrit terminology, traditional Indian rhythms, and footwork.
