EDUCATION
We make a conscious effort to educate our dancers in every class. Not only terminology for each genre, but also dance history in a fun way for every age group. It is important that our dancers know the history and background of dance and the innovators that have helped our art grow. Excel is very proud to hire talented staff full of diversity in the dance world who can educate and grow our dancers. We also ensure our staff stays up with the ever-growing industry by taking continuing education courses, classes at conventions, and curriculum movement through CLI Studios. Excel offers many programs that can help your dancer gain everything from self-confidence as a tiny dancer to college admission in dance programs and employment in the dance world!
DEDICATION
We always welcome new dancers with open arms and strive to help our dancers understand the importance of dedication to anything they want to be committed to. Throughout the year, we focus on different ways to show dedication to our dance friends, teachers, and community. As dance teachers, we are also dedicated to our students. We plan ahead to ensure the best curriculum for each class as well as a successful year!
CULTURE
The culture at Excel is family! We strive to make every dancer feel seen and supported! A huge part of our culture is building leaders that can encourage others inside and outside of the classroom! These leaders are dedicated to the dance family they love and our younger students strive to learn from them as they model respect, compassion, inclusion, grit, passion, and strength! As a dance family, we also believe it is important for our culture to share giving. We find ways to give back to our community each year through our dancing as well as local fundraisers and community events. Again, the leaders that develop this kind of giving and compassion alone will build amazing young people who will make a difference as adults.
MARCH 2023
Education: Perseverance
This month we are focusing on watching videos of dancers who
are physically disabled. Our goal is for the kids to become inspired and to see others use perseverance. We hope this creates a space
of inclusivity of all abilities and healthy discussions!
Dedication: ‘Lucky to have the best!’
Our theme this month is ‘Lucky to have the best!’ We want to
show our staff just how much we love them. Please stop by our
rainbow table to fill out a small card for our staff members. Let’s show them all the love!
Culture: "Bee" and "Beeing"
Each month we are going to focus on something we can “bee” and
this month we are focusing on “beeing” YOU! The teachers will be talking to the students on how to be truly, authentically and
wonderfully you. And how to encourage others to be themselves
too!
