About
The Dance Center offers ballet, pointe prep, and musical theater showcases, along with an Intermediate Ballet AP Program and Pre-Professional Ballet Training. The Intermediate Ballet AP Program is an invite-only, structured pre-professional training program for ballet-focused dancers of a similar ballet level. Ballet alumni from The Dance Center have obtained entry into elite training programs such as American Ballet Theater (NYC), San Francisco Ballet, Houston Ballet, Ballet West, Paris Opera Ballet, the former Kirov Academy of Ballet, The Harid Conservatory, and have received invitations to join Ellison Ballet School.

The Dance Center’s Intermediate Ballet AP Program is for dancers ages 9–14 and requires students to enroll in a three-times-per-week ballet technique class block with other AP students, supplemented by additional ballet and/or pointe classes. Ballet level structure is explicitly defined from Beginning Ballet Year 1 through Ballet Level 2/3, Intermediate Ballet AP & Ballet 3 and up, Tween Ballet, and Teen Ballet with corresponding age and experience guidelines. As of February 15, 2025, there is no cancellation or camp transfer fee for any summer camp that is canceled or transferred, with only a 4% credit card processing fee withheld if the original payment was by credit card. As of May 15, 2025, there is a $25 cancellation or camp transfer fee for each individual summer camp canceled or transferred up to 15 days prior to the camp, plus a 4% credit card processing fee withheld if the original payment was by credit card. There is a $50 cancellation or transfer fee 14 days prior to the camp start date for each individual camp, plus a 4% credit card processing fee withheld if the original payment was by credit card, and 7 days prior to camp start dates there are no transfers, no account credits, and no refunds. Lunch bunch registration is available to connect morning and afternoon camps, for late pick-up from a morning session, or for early drop-off to an afternoon session for ages 10 and under, including non-napping almost 3-year-olds through age 10. Families are asked to register dancers for their 2024–2025 school grade for camps listed by grade for registration.
The Dance Center is co-owned by Tia and Laura, and Tia Brown is both a co-owner and Intermediate Ballet AP faculty member. Intermediate AP faculty for 2023–24 are Isaiah Bindel, Kiera Hansen, and co-owner Tia Brown. The mission of The Dance Center states that they dream of a beautiful, inclusive, creative space that exudes welcome and love, where old friends and new friends become family, and life stages are celebrated, understood, and lived more fully through dance. The mission also states that the space is vibrant with creative energy and that children, teens, and adults are respected, encouraged, listened to, and valued. One parent testimonial describes the co-owners as “brilliant and innovative” for creating Zoom dance options and states, “We are so lucky to have you in our community.”
