Our Mission
Yellow Rose Dance takes pride in teaching to the whole dancer.
All classes offer age and developmentally appropriate dance instruction to all skill levels.
Most classes are combination classes including Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theatre and Tap.
This allows us to create a well rounded dancer that can utilize skills in any future career.
Come Play, Come Dance, Come Bloom! We hope to bring out the love of dance in every student.
