At Haven Dance Academy

We help students develop a passion for dance through a comprehensive, professional dance education in a supportive and nurturing environment.

We provide students (age 3-adult) with holistic, traditional dance classes and instruction, with an emphasis on foundational techniques and creative freedom to help people tell good stories through dance

While dance education is at the heart, Haven Arts Collective also hosts a mentoring space, worship gatherings, piano lessons, and a music production studio!

Classical Ballet

Ballet is integral to our program as the foundation of all dance forms and is vital to a fully developed dance education. Our open syllabus ballet teaches correct body placement and technique, while disciplining the mind and body.

Dancers will gain strength, grace, confidence, and poise through our ballet classes offered to ages 3-adult. Dancers 12 and up who are enrolled in 2 ballet classes/week are eligible for Pointe classes.

Our Classes

Jazz (Age 5+)

This energetic and fun dance style offers strength-building, conditioning, technique, progressions in leaps and turns, and exciting choreography
Contemporary (Age 7+)

Learn how to use emotion, expression, and storytelling through your dancing. A combination of concepts from jazz, modern, lyrical, and ballet are used to encourage the exploration of expressive movement. Ballet is required for a dancer to participate
Pilates (All Ages)

A full-body exercise form with an emphasis on core strengthening. Pilates concentrates on strength, flexibility, balance, and posture, making it a valuable practice for ability levels. We focus on Mat Pilates practices with occasional small prop use. Reformers are not utilized.
Progressing Ballet Technique

Train a dancer’s muscle memory through the use of props and focusing on the foundations of correct body placement. This practice improves strength, flexibility, and correct stability and alignment. This technique will be used occasionally throughout our ballet classes as well as offered in private lessons.
Worship & Improv

Believing that we are made to create and worship unto the Lord with all of ourselves, this class will be a time to incorporate movement into worship. We will learn how to be still and listen, move in freedom, and offer worship to the Father through our art.
Hip-Hop

In this high-energy class, you will learn a variety of Hip Hop dance styles and techniques while developing better rhythm and coordination. A great opportunity to break from the boundaries and explore your unique ‘street’ style!
Adult Classes (18+)

From no experience, to wanting to reignite your past dance life, we offer classes for adults! Adult Ballet will be a gentle ballet class improving strength, flexibility, and balance. Our Intro to Dance class will offer a variety of styles (i.e jazz, hip hop, broadway) for a fun technique practice and workout! Adults can also join both our Pilates and Open Worship classes.
Specialty Classes

After working hard on strong foundations in technique weekly, we will offer some fun extra classes monthly in Hip-Hop, Broadway, Modern, Zumba, Floorwork, and more!
