Classes

Beginner through advanced level dance classes are offered for ages 2 to adult in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Pointe, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Tumbling. Pre-school classes are educational and developmentally appropriate. The study of ballet is encouraged as a basic foundation for all other forms of dance.

At the Cindy Ory Dance Studio, we take the age of the child into consideration when choosing music and choreography. Our music is always age appropriate and tasteful. Our choreography is the latest style, yet is still acceptable for public viewing.
