About this studio
Limelight Dance Company has been running since 2013, built on the mission to give children a fun, safe, and nurturing place to learn dance. The studio is led by director Cara Terry Purcell and a team of experienced instructors including Ashley Roberts Horn, Caroline Capello, Madeline Bowers, Emiley Blair, Ashley Davis, Callie Weinmann, and Connor Perry.
Classes span a range of ages and styles. Creative Movement (ages 2–3) uses rhythm and movement games to spark creativity. Ballet and Tap classes are offered at two levels: ages 3–4 and 5–6 learn the basics of ballet positions and tap rhythms, with improvisation woven in to build confidence. Ages 7–9 expand their skills in ballet, tap, and introductory jazz, working on strength, flexibility, and coordination. Acro (ages 5–6) focuses on strength, conditioning, and fundamental acrobatic skills including cartwheels, handstands, backbends, and walkovers. Hip Hop (ages 6–9) is high-energy, teaching strength and conditioning, improvisation, and hip hop tricks to age-appropriate music.
The studio runs Monday to Thursday 3:30pm–8:30pm, Friday 3:00pm–6:00pm, Saturday 9:00am–12:00pm, and Sunday 1:00pm–5:00pm. Classes aim to develop coordination, flexibility, strength, and musicality while fostering social skills, teamwork, and positive attitudes. You can sign up for classes through their website or contact them directly by email or phone.
