Whether starting as a beginner or on our pre-professional track, our programs for children are aimed at increasing self-confidence and self-expression. 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.  Truly weaving dance into their lives!

Our Academy offers Tap Dance and Batanatyam (Classical Indian) for all levels and ages along with Tap/Ballet Combination classes for our young dancers 3-5 yrs old.  Additional opportunities for tap training are also within our Annual Soul 2 Sole Festival and our Summer Tapestry Intensive that brings focused multi-form training among other summer programs.

The Academy also holds an annual End of Year Demonstration (not required) that shows the progression of technique within the year through choreography started each Spring.  There is a $25 per class costume/production fee.

Tapestry also believes in sharing the power of dance and offers tuition stipends for students on a need and merit basis.  For stipend consideration, please download our Stipend Application and return it in person to the attention of Executive Director Etta Sanders or email to etta@tapestry.org.
