A Premiere staff member will be in touch about available classes for your trial and to set a date with you. At Premiere we strive to create an environment where dancers can truly become the best version of themselves. We pride ourselves on quality education, a positive culture, and transparent communication.

Each of our classes has a structured syllabus to ensure that your dancer is progressing at an appropriate pace and our variety of programs help us individualize your dancer's journey. We would love to welcome you and your dancer into our Premiere family. Anni has really blossomed at Premiere, and the staff has been very supportive of her physical delays, starting with her from when she couldn't even walk to where she is now.

We highly recommend Premiere Dance to anyone in the area. Both Amanda and Aunica have been amazing teachers. Our little one who is 2 1/2 had not been in a classroom setting before since she is always home with me (mom.) They took to her and were extremely attentive. She has adapted wonderfully thanks to their help and encouragement.

We had our daughters birthday party at Premiere Dance Project and Amanda and Aunica did a fantastic job keeping the party going. Their was never any dead time and made the party amazing for my daughter and her friends. We have signed our daughter up for dance class and the communication and advice from the ladies has been perfect. I would highly recommend Premiere Dance Project not only for dance classes but for children’s birthday parties!

After beginning at Premiere I was quickly impressed with the teaching. My daughter had been at a big well known dance academy before this one and Aunica did things with the girls right away, that I never saw her introduced to before. They were using exercise bands one day to stretch their toes and one week she had a full size skeleton in class showing them the way there bones were moving when they did particular moves. So impressed!!! We are definitely signing up for the fall! Thank you Aunica for making it a great intro back into dance for us!!!

All these dancers and the families of the dancers are so lucky to have Aunica! Aunica has worked hard to make this dream of hers happen and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her!

My daughter started at Premier Dance Project this summer and couldn’t be happier! She takes many classes and loves each of them. She always comes home with a big smile, ready to show me something new she learned. I have been very impressed by how much she’s grown in just a few short weeks this summer. Amanda and Aunica are amazing instructors and excellent communicators. The studio is beautiful and welcoming. Whether your child is just beginning dance or has been dancing for years, I highly recommend Premier Dance Project.
