We are so grateful to have such an inspirational dance space to train technique, gain skills and be creative with our art.

At ALIGHT Dance Academy we value safety, which is why our floors are designed with our dancers and coaches in mind. Our studio is fully equipped with high quality sprung floors to protect our dancers muscles, ligaments and joints during training. We built our studio with health, safety and longevity in mind.

The studio is equipped with tools to help our dancers cross train effectively. From pilates balls to yoga blocks, stretch bands to foam rollers and turning discs to core balance trainers, we’ve got the tools to train the flexibility, stability and endurance that dancers depend on.

Our lobby is comfortable, with plenty of seating and full viewing windows on the main level so our families can watch as their dancers train. Our upstairs studio is equipped with a camera and viewing screen so parents can watch their little ones in our Glitter Ballet Ballet and Little Sparks Tumbling Toddler Classes.

We have a fully air-conditioned building and a living plant wall so that the air quality is high and the dancers can breathe at peak performance. With lots of exterior windows and natural light, it is a light, bright, and enlivening space.

The kitchen is the go to space for dancers during breaks. With two large tables for snack/dinner time, dancers can eat, visit and hang out with friends. The kitchen is also used as a quiet place where dancers can complete homework, read or have some downtime in between classes.

We also have the ALIGHT Dance Shoppe with all the essentials your dancer needs for technique classes. Our shop inventory includes leotards, shorts, leggings, dance shoes, tights, and of course ALIGHT swag.

We would love to show you our space. Feel free to stop by M-F from 9am-5pm or give us a call to schedule your first class. by @alightdanceacademy

Burnout is real. Especially in the world of competition dance.

Some level of stress during training is normal- you can’t expect to show up every day or to every class with the same level or enthusiasm and energy. But if you find yourself lacking any motivation to train, if you are completely disinterested in attending classes, or if you are avoiding your dance friends, consider that it may be a sign of something more.
This is especially true when you used to live for your next training session or choreography class and you couldn’t wait to see your friends at the studio.

Here are some things to keep in mind to help your body, brain and heart stay on track with your dance goals and dance journey.

Essentials: Remember that self care is a must, and if you stick to the essentials you can regain your equilibrium. Be sure you rest up, hydrate and fuel your body with quality foods.

Hobbies: Spend some time doing things that bring you happiness without any standard or expectation. Find a new hobby or revisit one you haven’t done for a while.

Family & Friends: Spending time with those you are close with and who care about you brings good energy and good feelings. Take time with friends and family outside of the studio. The change can be refreshing.

Boundaries: Have clear boundaries. You can respectfully take care of yourself- that means if you are sick, observe class for the day. If you are fatigued, give yourself permission to take extra rest time. Say no to extra private instruction or solo rehearsal time so your body and mind have time to renew.

Movement: Sometimes you just need to get in the studio and move because you love it. Do some improvisation to your favorite song or learn a throw away combo. Do the movement because it feels good; don’t try to perfect it or master it, just feel the movement in your body and remember how dance makes you feel alive.

How do you know your child is ready for dance class?

Do they mimic your movements?
Do they like to join in with fun activities along with other children?
Do they listen to and follow simple instructions?

If you answered yes to these questions, then your child is ready to give dance lessons a go.

A lot can happen in one day at a dance studio and this is just a bit of it. We love it when the studio is full of energy and movement. From the littles all the way up through teens and seniors, we want it ALL! #dancestudiolife #danceenergy #dancetraining #danceforkids by @alightdanceacademy
