My 3 year old daughter had her trial class today and she left confident and beaming. Talk about spirit boosting. This was everything her age group needs to grow into movement. Her instructor gave her some space to feel out the class- the environment, the people, and before I knew it, she was engaging in some of the movements. It was perfect. There were some really creative ways to get kids moving- I was particularly fond of hearing the mix of different music ensembles and the rope lights on the floor. I danced for 16 years myself and it makes me want to embrace that part of me I thought I lost long ago with an adult class as well.

Ormao has been my family's dance studio for nearly 20 years! I have the honor of dancing professionaly with the company, teaching for the school, and my children have grown up dancing there. The nurturing environment and focus on developing healthy, smart, artistic individuals is so important to us. This is not a competition studio; it is a creative mover's dream! Yet, there is still a strong foundation in proper technique and empowering dancers to understand their beautiful instruments. Many former Ormao students continue dancing at the collegiate level and beyond with professional dance companies. Others are better humans simply because they have been infused with the joy of dance! I recommend Ormao to anyone who wants to be expressive and have fun in a safe, loving, education based dance environment!
