Unlock your child’s desire to dance! At Olivia Allen Dance & Fitness, we strive to create an engaging and motivating atmosphere that encourages each individual to grow. Whether you’re brand new to ballet or just getting into exercise, you will feel welcomed. We want everyone to feel special when they come in the door, and accomplished when they walk out.
Choose from our Short Sessions, Drop-In Classes & Upcoming Seasonal Events below. *We are a non-recital studio! At the end of each session (Adult Dance and Twirling Twos excluded), we have an in person parent/guardian observation where we share a short dance (or two in combo classes), so you can watch your child’s progress.

Dance Class Descriptions
*We are a non-recital studio! At the end of each session (Adult Dance and Twirling Twos excluded), we have an in person parent/guardian observation where we share a short dance (or two in combo classes), so you can watch your child’s progress.
Twirlin Twos
This 30 minute class is your child’s introduction to creative movement and imagination! Dancers will be exposed to different sounds and movements to ignite their motion, balance and listening skills in a warm and open environment. This class is a “stepping stone” into dance! Some parent/guardian involvement may occur as we encourage your child to enter the classroom and begin to follow teacher instructions.
Pre-Dance
Pre-Dance is your child’s 45 minute gateway to dance education, imagination, movement and fun. Open to ages 3-5, little dancers will learn basic ballet and dance positions and steps, develop and enhance their gross motor skills, and learn about rhythm and musicality. We will wrap up the session with a fun dance combination to share with family and friends.
Ballet/Tap Combo
Ballet Tap/Combo is a beginning class for ages 5-7. In class we focus on the basic positions and elementary vocabulary of ballet as well as introduce tap technique and rhythms. Dancers will learn proper technique at the barre, as well as in the center, in this one hour class. Dancers will learn to string together movements to create basic choreography in a fun and engaging atmosphere.
Ballet/Jazz 1 Combo
Ballet/Jazz 1 is a beginning/intermediate class for ages 6-8. In class we focus on the basic positions and vocabulary of ballet. Dancers will learn proper technique at the barre, as well as in the center and string together basic combinations. In this one hour 15 minute class we also combine Jazz 1 where dancers warm up their bodies with isolations and string together steps and combinations. Across the floor we work on progressions and rhythm with a focus on presentation and musicality. Dancers will learn to string together movements to create basic choreography in a fun and engaging atmosphere.
Pre-Teen and Teen Ballet/Jazz/Tap Combo
In this combo class, teen dancers have the opportunity to explore dance in a fun and engaging atmosphere. Class will have a 30-45 minute focus on ballet and/or jazz, followed by a 30-45 minute tap focus. Dancers will learn proper technique and vocabulary while learning to string together movements into choreography. This is an open level class for Pre-Teen and Teen dancers, no prior experience required. Class is an hour and 15 minutes.
***The Pre-Teen Combo class is for 9-13 years, and the Teen Combo class is for 14 years+. Classes may be combined if there is low enrollment in each.
