Fontaine Academy Of Dance

The Fontaine Academy of Dance offers classes in Tap, Ballet, Lyrical, Pointe and Hip-hop. We have a pleasant atmosphere in our studio and our students enjoy dancing while at the same time learning proper technique and artistry.
Our preschool programs have been specially designed to develop creative expression, rhythm, coordination, locomotive skills, muscle control and love of dance. All of our students are given individual attention, so that their dreams may become a reality.
Our studio uses a system of levels to match students as closely as possible within each class and subject. Students are placed based on age, experience, skill level, coordination, musicality, and maturity in accepting corrections. Each class can therefore be paced to meet the needs of the majority. It is important for the parent and students to understand that dance class levels are not the same as levels in schools, and dance students may not always change levels each year. This does not mean they have not made progress or are being held back and, in fact, in most cases the entire class progresses as a unit.
