Get Back To Dance This Fall

The Dance Effect PAC is ready for fall.

October 15, 2021

It's time to get dancing again!  If your family is anything like mine, you've finally just settled back into a routine and adjusted to school schedules.  So, now is the perfect time to enhance your child's development with a fun-filled dance class! 

 

The Dance Effect Performing Arts Center in Spring City is open and ready to meet your family this fall!  Whether you're looking for a year-long experience or just a few classes to see try out a new interest, TDE has an option for your family. Owner Angelica Palmer is proud to offer a wide range of classes starting at just 2 years old!  From high energy, gross motor development Mini Monkey classes to pre-teen Academy Ballet en pointe, she strives to offer a range of styles.  Brand new this year are lyrical and a junior hip-hop class- a can't miss for boys and girls looking to bust a move. 

 

What we love most about The Dance Effect is how easy they make it for parents.  Kids aren't one size fits all and neither is dance.   Have a prima ballerina? A funky monkey? A future acrobat?  There's a class for that, no need to force tights and a tutu for a little girl who just wants to shake her sillies out in a jazz class. Flexibility also makes life easier in both class times and enrollment tracks.  TDE offers a "Discovery" tract that enrolls from session to session.  This gives new dancers a chance to see if they like it without a long-term commitment, it gives dancers the option to try out new styles to find what's right for them, and it gives families flexibility if schedules change in the coming months.  The other tract is the "Academy".  These dancers enroll for the season, classes touch on a few genres to make well-rounded dancers, and tuition is all-inclusive- recital too! Finally, and most important, TDE makes it easy to feel at home.  Speaking from personal experience, it's easy to drop off my daughter for class. She is happy to be there, excited to learn, and feels the warmth of connection as a part of the #TDEFamily. For parents, often the easiest decisions are the ones that make our children happy and help them grow- The Dance Effect offers this in spades. 


Angelica is also a mom and understands kids' whims change- and the costs can really pile up!  So she offers a few helpful options.  

  • Free, no-commitment trial class.  Sign up to see if a class is a good fit!  Sometimes kids just need to try something to know if they'll like it. 
  • Free leotard or t-shirt (depending on class) with enrollment.  No need to buy a uniform!
  • Rolling admissions and discovery program options.  Sign up for a six-week session to start!

Ready to give it a try?  The Discovery 2 session runs November 1st through December 18th or sign-up for an Academy class at any time with rolling admissions!  Click here to see a full list of classes for both Discovery and Academy.
