NURTURE YOUR INNER PERFORMER.

At Alessi Dance Factory, we are committed to creating a positive and supportive environment that transcends the challenges often found in the dance world. We stand for respect, compassion, honesty, sportsmanship, integrity, and professionalism, embracing and celebrating the diverse backgrounds and identities of all our students. Our mission is to instill these values, ensuring that each student feels supported and appreciated as part of our family. Here, the negativity stops at our doors, and together, we can foster a community where everyone can thrive and carry these principles with them throughout their lives.

At our dance studio, every dancer is valued, heard, and feels a true sense of belonging.

  • Jazz dance is a fast paced technique based dance style that includes kicks, laps, turns, and sharp movements. This style is very technique driven which means ballet is highly recommended for basic underlying knowledge.

  • Ballet is a technique class base on the Vaganova method. This style includes slow and quick movements and is the underlying technique for all dance styles.

  • Tap is a dance in which the rhythm or rhythmical variation is audibly tapped out with the toe or heel by a dancer wearing shoes with special metal soles.

  • Contemporary takes the ballet and jazz technique and fuses them together is expressive movements to tell the story of the choreographer and the song.

  • Boys looking to join our competition team train with Mr. Erik in male specific styles of dance technique and work on strength training to increase lift abiity.

  • I'm a student at Alessi Dance Factory and I've been dancing for 5 years but since they opened I feel like I'm better than I was in the past. the teachers are all so sweet and supportive, the environment is good and I look forward to going to dance because of that.

    • Myla Bishop (current competition student)

  • Alessi Dance Factory has been a wonderful experience for my child! She joined the competition dance team and has also been taking a musical theatre class. She enjoys the variety of dance disciplines offered (tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, modern, acro, and partnering) and the expert instruction provided by all of the teachers. She has also enjoyed the opportunity to participate in conditioning classes to help improve her fitness which, in turn, improves her dance skills.

    • Anna Downer (Parent)

  • My child has been dancing for 5 yrs now. She started out shy and not confident. When Ms Helena started working with her, I could see a big difference. My child now has lots of confidence in herself, and she is coming out of her shyness. When Ms Helena decided to open her studio, we had to follow. These instructors care! They have patience, and they listen to their students. If the students have difficulty with a dance move, then I've seen them work with the students until they are comfortable and confident. The studio is very clean with plenty of room. The location is perfect.

    • Pam Bishop (Parent)

  • Alessi Dance Factory is the best!! Helena herself is truly a gem and goes out of her way to help better her students! She has such a passion for dance and even went out of her way to give me a private lesson I was needing super last minute!! I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone! If you’re looking for a studio to join, or maybe some new lessons as a beginner dancer of ANY age, definitely try Alessi Dance Factory!!
