The academy news
"When the news of HB2 came out, it struck at the heart of who I am as a person and an artist. My work has always been inspired by the people and events that impact my life. At this time in our state's history, I feel a calling to speak out for our community...
Our holiday show was such a wonderful time of celebrating....
We are excited to announce that Joseph Adams will be joining our team beginning Oct. 2nd. Fridays from 5:30pm -6:30pm come tear up the dance floor with Joe and his crew of breakers.
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.

We are excited to build this special academy with you! Thanks to the generous support of various donors are capitol campaign is 85% funded!!! We are now open for registrations and would love you the first registrants to be a part of the club. The FOUNDER'S CLUB is for our first 100 registered dancers before Aug. 15th. As a part of this club you receive a FREE dance bag & signature shirt, as well as special offers throughout the year. It is our way of saying thank you for believing in us and for joining our artistic community! Why should you join us?
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."
