Class Schedules
Levels of Dance

AMA’s dance levels are broken down into 3 categories:

  1. Basic I, II and III
  2. Intermediate I, II and III
  3. Advanced

If you are unsure of your level, please e-mail the studio at . Age and years of dance taken are used as guidelines only when assigning your child the proper dance class--height and size make absolutely no difference as to what class they should take. Ability level determines the class we suggest your child take. A younger child who is advancing quickly can be with older students or a beginning older student can be with younger students while they catch up.

Classes Offered
Adult Classes

Haven't danced in a while? No need to worry. AMA will give you the individual attention you need to show you just how fun it is to dance again! If you are looking for some quality exercise and toning, AMA is for you! If you are an experienced adult dancer, AMA has a wide variety of adult classes to keep you challenged and wanting more!

Private Classes

Private Classes are always available. Please see Ann Marie Frank to schedule.

Tap for Teens

This class was added to our curriculum to accommodate the experienced dancer who has had little or no tap. We will start from the beginning and move rather quickly so you can catch up to your friends!

Tumbling

We are pleased to add 3 levels of tumbling to our curriculum. From cartwheels to flip-flops, you will be exposed to all the basics, then move on to the more difficult tricks. Denise Mlysnki, our Tumbling Instructor, was on both Maine West's Tumbling Team and ISU's team. You may have seen Denise in the ISU Acrobat Circus performing as both student and alumna for years. Denise comes to AMA with a long list of experience with children. She enjoys instructing at the junior ISU Summer Acrobat Circus Camp and currently works as a Speech Pathologist in our area! We are privileged to have such a knowledgeable instructor and talented performer among our staff!

Tumbling Levels

Beginning classes will focus on introducing children with little to no experience to tumbling. Children will begin to learn such skills as forward and backward rolls, backbends from the ground, and building up to the beginnings of a cartwheel.

Intermediate classes will build upon skills learned and mastered at the beginning level, with variations to forward and backward rolls, standing backbends, handstands, back walkovers, cartwheels, and round-offs.

Advanced level classes will build upon skills learned and mastered at the intermediate level, with back extension rolls, handstand forward rolls, flip flops, ariels, standing back flips, and tumbling sequences such as round-off flip flop.

All classes will include flexibility and conditioning training tailored to the level of experience and skill.
