Got a little one who is always moving, loves music, and wants to do EVERYTHING themselves?

Combo is designed for ages 3–5, giving little dancers a chance to learn how to follow directions, move with the music, build coordination, and get comfortable in a class setting, all while learning the basics of ballet and tap.

Classes start next week, and we still have room for a few more little dancers! Sign up at dancefactoryeast.com

Lyrical gives dancers a chance to connect their movement with the music and tell a story while they dance. It combines the technique they’re already working on with more focus on expression and movement quality.

If Lyrical sounds like something your dancer would enjoy, take a look at our fall class options!

Say hi to Miss Olivia! 👋

One of her favorite parts of teaching is seeing dancers achieve their goals, especially that moment when something they’ve been working on finally clicks!

A few things to know about Olivia: Ballet will always be her favorite, she loves a good matcha, and the kids already know about her 7 Brew obsession. Her order? A Large Pink Mermaid, light ice, with 3 pumps of coconut milk. 👀 She also loves Sticky Rice in Champaign!

And a fun fact you might not know: Olivia modeled as a teenager, which sparked her love of fashion and might explain why picking out recital costumes is one of her favorite things to do.

Jazz gives dancers a chance to work on technique while also bringing their own energy and personality to class. Dancers work on turns, leaps, combinations and performance skills as they continue to grow.

We have several jazz classes on the schedule this fall. Find the right one for your dancer!

Meet Miss Abby!
One of her favorite parts of teaching is finding unconventional ways to explain steps and musicality, which usually turns into a collection of inside jokes and references with each group of dancers along the way.

A few things to know about Abby: Tap is her favorite, Dairy Queen is always a good choice, and while everyone else is debating coffee or tea, Abby is perfectly happy with water. (And yes, she gets teased for it. 🙈)

And a pretty cool fun fact: Gianna Martello from Dance Moms once gave Abby an award at a dance convention!

Teaching dance is so much more than teaching steps. It’s noticing the little things, helping dancers work through what isn’t clicking yet, and celebrating with them when it finally does.

These are the moments that make up so much of what happens inside our studio.

Tap is a fun way for dancers to work on rhythm, timing and coordination while learning how to make music with their feet. Classes are offered at several levels, with new skills added as dancers progress.

Think your dancer would love tap? Take a look at our fall schedule!

Say hi to Miss Halle!

One of her favorite things about teaching is watching her students have fun dancing, making memories, and enjoying their time together in the studio.

A few things to know about Halle: Tap and Jazz are her favorite styles, she’ll pick coffee over tea, but lemonade and chocolate milk are her real go-to drinks! Cracker Barrel is a favorite, and she’s known she wanted to be a Pre-K teacher since she was in first grade.
