Dance Studio
Fall 2022 Dance Classes, Katy, TX
Dance Genres
Unsure about what classes your child may enjoy? Ballet, tap, and jazz are by far our most popular classes! If your dancer enjoys fast-paced instruction we recommend tap, jazz, and hip-hop. If your student tends to be more detail-oriented ballet or contemporary would be a good fit for them. If your child is naturally flexible they may enjoy acrobatics the best!
Age Groups
We offer children's classes for ages 2-18! Your child's grade will help determine what class to place them in. At Pointe of Grace, we value social, emotional, as well as technical development. Every age group focuses on a different developmental approach to assure that each child is able to thrive. For the dancers who are looking to take their training to the next level, we offer a performance team, competition team, and a pointe program!
Technical Levels
Each level at POG focuses on a different developmental element of dance to benefit the whole dancer. Our levels are typically based on grade with some exceptions. We believe it is important to begin with a love for dance, progress to complex skills, and eventually develop artistry and mastery.
