All of our classes are designed to offer full flexibility in how often your child attends. Some families choose once a week, others prefer multiple times per week for faster progress, and some join occasionally. All options work within our program.

Each Level introduces new material every week that builds for consistent students, while still standing alone, so children who drop in will never feel behind.

Consistency and frequency are key to developing strong dance technique. After age 7, we recommend training at least twice a week. After age 9, students aiming for a pre-professional level should ideally train three to four times per week, allowing them to build technique across different dance styles.

For students looking for even more focused growth, private sessions with our founder offer the opportunity to refine technique, work through specific challenges, prepare audition material, and create a personalized training plan for those pursuing dance more seriously.

At ESTIA, all of our teachers are working professional dancers who are actively performing, choreographing, and contributing to the dance community. We believe that we are all lifelong students, and that philosophy is reflected in our faculty’s approach to teaching and learning.

We also strive to create welcoming and empowering spaces that both challenge and inspire our movers. Our classes emphasize commitment, curiosity, and joy, helping each student grow not only as a dancer but as an artist and individual.

At ESTIA we try to cut out the extra costs of dance training in order to ensure that dance remains accessible and affordable for all. For that reason, we offer in studio showings twice/year where our students present themed works with all of the movement vocabulary they learned as well as their own choreography.
