Our Guiding Philosophy: 

We know all things can be learned through dance.

While our classes provide students with strong technique in line with professional training programs, our primary focus is to develop dancers who are humans first- assured of their own strength, intelligence, poise, and kindness. That's why our classes focus on so much more than dance. We bring the rest of the world into the classroom, and hope that you'll join us all year to learn about: 

Building Inclusive Community with Social-Emotional Intelligence (Fall 2018)
This Fall, we will be honing our social and emotional skills, learning to build strong relationships, care for ourselves and each other, and become active members of inclusive communities. 

Physical Science and Kinesiology (Winter 2019)
This Winter, we will investigate how science rules the dance studio and the world around us in a way that is developmentally appropriate for each age level. 

Storytelling, Poetry, and Literacy (Spring 2019)
This Spring, we will dive into the magic of storytelling and literacy as we create dances inspired by the books we love. 

Nature and Geography (Summer 2019)
What better way to get to know nature than to dance in it? Our summer camps our outside every year, and our evening classes will bring the natural world into the studio.

Weekly Classes

Youngstown Cultural Arts Center,
​West Seattle

Youngstown has been our home base since 2017. We are inspired by the forward- thinking community of people and organizations that meet there and are honored to be part of the fabric of this place. Since we began, it has been a joy to see our program grow. Starting in September 2019, we will be expanding our community by moving across the street to Delridge Community Center and hosting periodic performances at Youngstown.

Central Seattle Community Centers

Ciara has been teaching at Garfield Community Center for over five years, and at Montlake and Miller since 2016. These centers truly do support strong communities, and it is wonderful to see people come together here year after year. Community Center classes are all taught by Ciara. 

Summer Camps

We love to dance all summer, especially outside!

Think birthday parties, private classes, and even corporate workshops.
