 SCA dance classes encourage creativity while emphasizing proper technique and terminology so students can become
strong, knowledgeable, and passionate dancers. Each student will learn steps in a progressive manner that will allow them
to focus on body placement, timing, fluidity, musicality, and expression. SCA dance instructors teach with a nurturing and
      supportive attitude so students are able to learn in an environment conducive for growth and development.

          •    It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that students wishing to advance their technique take a
               ballet class AND a second technique class.
          •    SCA’s Annual Dance Recital will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2019. A MANDATORY dress
               rehearsal will take place on the week of May 13.
          •    SCA offers low-cost, high quality dance education. Tuition and costume fees are kept
               affordable so that families can enjoy dance without feeling a financial strain. Payment plans
               are available. Please contact SCA Studios at (440) 337-1400 for information.
