The Muses is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of what its like to be a professional dancer. In this pre-professional program students learn both classical and contemporary choreography that they rehearse weekly. With Terpsicorps' artistic director Heather Maloy  at the helm this program is built to attract serious ballet & contemporary students looking for either a career in dance or advanced training.

REASON 2 to join The Academy. Get fit, continue your training, or just come for the fun. Want to try it dance for the first time? Keep up your childhood training? Professional dancer? We love adult dancers and aim to be a resource for those who don't want to be stuck in class with kids.  Here are some options as we start out...

We feel very strongly that all interested students, ages 8 and up, come take one of the classes. Heather Maloy will teach a simple barre and then exercises in center that will display a range of skills that are crucial for determining the level that will be most beneficial for their development.

Join us on the same outdoor stage in Pack Square Park where the Terpsicorps dancers held their rehearsals this year for FREE introductory classes. Taught by Terpsicorps' Director of Outreach, Melissa Wilson, the pre-ballet classes will be 30 minutes long and are perfect for boys and girls ages 3-6 years old. 

She said the reason for moving the school to Patton Avenue is simple: The rent is "exponentially cheaper" than in the River Arts District, where, like Sawyer, she rented room in the Switchyards building."
