About this studio

The studio's philosophy centres on achieving strong technical foundations while nurturing creativity and passion for performance. Classes run from August through May, with the 2026–2027 season starting 17 August.
The academy's staff includes co-owner and instructor Maggie Hamlin, who has danced since age 3, competed for Jenny's Dance Center through high school, was a member of the JV and Varsity Pom Squads at Lake Forest High School, danced for the TCU Showgirls, and performed professionally for the Dallas Mavericks Dancers. The studio emphasises hiring instructors with strong background knowledge and years of experience in performing.

The studio also offers competition team training, with memberships available for 1–5 competition routines, plus solo and duo routine options.
