Teaching Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy is rooted in creating responsible, disciplined, and confident young adults through the art of dance. We believe that through the vehicle of dance, one learns valuable life lessons such as teamwork, self-discipline, respect, and creative expression.
Beyond the character development dance brings, we also believe in the recreational and creative benefits of the activity. We want our dancers, at all levels, to have fun and enjoy the art of dance.
At On Your Toes, our instructors work with each individual to encourage personal growth. When our students master a skill or take the stage, they experience the reward of their hard-work paying off. This important life lesson translates beyond the studio and the stage and into the confidence and character of each young dancer.
Class Philosophy
We believe to properly learn the art of dance and the various styles within, you must master technique along the way. By utilizing a "progressions" approach, where new skills build upon the technique of previously learned skills, we are able to maintain a safe learning environment.
We are the only studio in the Upper Keys that offers multiple levels within age divisions to ensure our dancers are always making progress. We recognize that all children develop at different rates and we are proud to be able to offer a multitude of classes to tailor each child’s experience.
