Founded in 1971 and currently housed in the former Bishop Quarter Building, the academy offers classes in movement and music for ages 2 to adult.
Movement classes include ballet, creative movement, jazz and modern dance; plus pilates, stretching and yoga. Music classes include piano, flute and recorder. Voice lessons are offered to teens whose voices have matured. The academy also houses a preschool.
The building itself can be hard to find. Although its address is on Lake Street, the entrance is located at the rear of the building, off an alley that is accessible from North Boulevard.
Visitors are advised to park on Lake Street, East Avenue or the metered slots on North Boulevard. Spaces near the building are reserved for staff.
