Message To Our Young Artists:

Our mission to inspire dancers and foster creativity is nowhere more prevalent than with the Empire Young Artist Program, designed for ages 3+. We are a dance training program, but more than that, we are a family and we strive to offer memorable class experiences for all ages. We train our young artists, not just to be good dancers, but to be good people focusing on integrity, self confidence, selflessness, compassion and teamwork.

Our Young Artist Program has been recognized as one of the Midwests top recreational and competitive dance training programs. It is our goal to offer the city's top instruction in dance and create a positive environment in which each young artist may be inspired to grow and excel. We offer classes in jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, musical theater and more. Our annual program runs from September through May and culminates with a showcase performed at a professional theater so that students may live out their stage dance dreams! Our summer program runs from June through August.

Whether you are a serious dancer seeking to develop your artistry or a recreational dancer seeking exercise and fun, there is no better place than Empire Dance Academy. Welcome to the family!
