About
Applegate Dance Studio offers classes in Ballet, Creative Movement, Hip Hop, Pointe, Zumba, Barre, Hula, Technique Mastery & Conditioning, Contemporary Dance, Stretch & Tone, Pre-Ballet Lessons, and Pre-Pointe. The studio’s ballet program is the mainstay of the studio and uses technique based on a mixture of the Vaganova, Cecchetti, and Royal Academy schools, along with a modern understanding of kinetics. Instructors use exercises and theory from all three ballet schools and adjust each class to best meet the needs of individual students, with a focus on providing sound technique that prevents injury and supports many years of dance participation.
