Our Program
At Curley Dance Studio, we offer a wide range of classes tailored for all ages, starting from two years through to adulthood.
Our core disciplines include Classical Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, which form the foundation of our dance training. Building on these fundamental styles, we offer extension classes in Hip Hop, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, and Acrobatics. Additionally, we provide Singing lessons, available either as private sessions or in small groups.

The Junior School at Curley Dance Studio offers three classes for young children. The Mini Movers class, for children walking up to 3 years old, introduces basic dance principles like rhythm, timing, and coordination through a fun mix of Ballet and Jazz. Guardians are required to remain at the studio, and may need to participate depending on the child's needs, although students are encouraged to dance independently as the concert approaches. The Tiny Tots and SubJuniors class builds on these fundamentals by adding balance, flexibility, performance skills, and introducing Tap.
