Skill. Expression. Progress You Can See.
At Dance Dynamics, progress is personal. Every class in our Level Up program is designed to help dancers ages 10 to 14 take clear, measurable steps forward in their development.
Each class is guided by experienced instructors who understand how to challenge and support this age group. We focus on the how, not just the what, so dancers develop more than movement–they gain motivation, discipline and pride in their progress.
Here’s how we help each dance grow:
By recital season, dancers don’t just know their choreography–they feel ready to perform it with confidence. Their growth shows up on stage and stays with them long after the music stops.
Teaches clean lines, dynamic movement and musical precision. Students grow strength and flexibility while learning choreography inspired by contemporary music.
Builds timing, rhythm and sound control. Tap dancers develop quick thinking and clear coordination through footwork that challenges and energizes.
Blends character work with movement. Students learn to tell stories through dance while building stage presence and emotional range.
Contemporary and Hip Hop
Contemporary develops fluid expression and emotional connection. Hip Hop promotes energy, musicality and confidence with age-appropriate movement.

How Jazz, Contemporary and Musical Theater Shape Confident Dancers
In the Level Up program, dancers ages 10 to 14 move beyond basics and begin refining their voice as artists. Each style in our curriculum is intentionally taught to build both skill and self-expression in a way that resonates with this age group.
- Jazz builds strength, flexibility and musical timing through turns, leaps and expressive movement combinations.
- Contemporary teaches dancers to blend technique and emotion using smooth transitions and purposeful choreography.
- Musical Theater encourages stage presence, character development and storytelling through movement and expression.
These styles help dancers explore emotion, rhythm, and presence, forming a well-rounded foundation that carries into performance and life.
Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop Train Focus, Timing, and Self-Control
Level Up dancers build more than just physical ability. They develop mental focus and discipline that supports both dance and daily life. Every style introduces challenges that train the mind as much as the body.
- Tap sharpens concentration by teaching rhythmic awareness and detailed footwork.
- Jazz requires attention to alignment, transitions and performance quality across changing tempos.
- Hip Hop brings fast-paced movement and body isolations that improve memory and response time.
With every combination, dancers learn how to listen, adapt and follow through with intention. These habits support organization, resilience and confidence–in class and in life.
Contemporary, Tap, and Jazz Build Grit and Growth Mindset
Dance teaches perseverance. In Level Up classes, students learn to push through frustration, revisit material with fresh effort and celebrate progress along the way.
- Contemporary dancers explore storytelling through movement, working through both technical sequences and emotional range.
- Tap builds rhythm through repetition, helping dancers overcome mistakes with positivity.
- Jazz routines push dancers to refine and repeat until timing, strength, and style align.
We guide students through the natural frustrations that come with learning something new. The result? They begin to embrace challenges instead of fearing them. They bounce back quicker, try again with more clarity, and celebrate small wins as part of the process. That mindset stays with them—at school, at home, and anywhere they work toward a goal.
Musical Theater, Hip Hop, and Tap Create Camaraderie in Every Class
Dance becomes more meaningful when it’s shared. Level Up dancers form real connections through shared rhythm, teamwork and creative expression.
- Musical Theater dancers act, move, and connect with one another to bring scenes to life—building trust and ensemble spirit.
- Hip Hop encourages individuality within a group rhythm, creating a space where each dancer is celebrated for what they bring to the floor.
- Tap unison and timing foster a sense of unity—every sound contributing to the group’s rhythm.
The community they build in class turns into real friendships—ones that boost confidence and ease performance anxiety. For many of our dancers, the studio becomes a second home. They feel supported, challenged, and seen. And when it’s time for the recital, they celebrate not just individual progress, but the bond they’ve created along the way.

This a wonderful dance studio with amazing teachers! The teachers are so passionate and go out of the way to make class fun for the students, while still teaching proper technique.
I’ve been a dancer at Dance Dynamics for about three years and it has been the best experience I’ve ever experienced. I love all of the teachers like my own family and all the dancers. Definitely recommend 100%!!
Dance Dynamics has been such a valuable experience for my favorite dancer. She has been dancing at Dance Dynamics for ten years, since she was three. It has helped her so much in all aspects of life - especially self-confidence and poise. It comes out at school and everywhere else. So much more than just dancing! The staff and instructors are the best around!
Absolutely, hands down, the best dance studio in Arkansas. The staff, the students, and the families are all world!
Best studio ever! We tried several dance studios before finding Dance Dynamics and I can tell you that nothing else compares. Love the family like environment! Latisha is amazing and truly cares about all of her dancers. The instructors are top notch and also very caring, wanting the best for all of their students.
Dance Dynamics has been a blessing for my kiddo. I do not come from a dance background and honestly didn’t know anything about competitive dance prior to joining the company. My daughter has truly flourished and has learned more in short time than I ever thought was possible. The staff is kind and talented. I love that they treat her like family but also are firm when needed. It takes a village to raise these kids and I’m very thankful for DDC. Thank you for pushing my kiddo to be the best, most hard working version of herself while also being kind and supportive to her dance team.
My daughter started taking dance at Dance Dynamics 4 years ago, and we could not be more impressed by the dedication from every staff member to ensure all dancers receive personalized instruction. My daughter had zero dance experience when she started at DDC, and she has grown leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time. Dance Dynamics is not a local studio to us, but the instruction is unmatched, so we sacrifice drive time to ensure she is dancing with the best. The staff, parents, and kids are very welcoming and supportive. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
My daughter has danced here for two years and not only does she receive top notch training in every genre, but the girls are all so wonderful and supportive. I can't imagine dancing anywhere else!
My daughter dances at both the LR and NLR locations, and both are top notch facilities with wonderful people running and teaching in them.
Tap+Ballet class at Dance Dynamics is the highlight of Davis Kait’s week!
The staff is so invested in making sure your children have fun, learn, and succeed at whatever their dance goals are! Highly recommend!
Dance Dynamics has been wonderful for my daughter! The friendships she has built and the discipline she has developed are the biggest takeaways for her. The staff treats every child with respect and truly become like family! Can’t recommend this studio enough!
Best place filled with the best people. I spent nearly 10 years dancing with this company and fully cherish the skills, experience, and sweet memories made there. I can’t wait to send my daughter there one day!
Being at this studio was the best choice I could have made for my daughter. It has built her confidence and taught her teamwork and sportsmanship. She has made so many new friends that I’m sure she’ll have for life.
Her teachers are AMAZING! Very supportive and encouraging to not just the children but the parents as well.
Togetherness, kindness and compassion is the key at this studio for all involved.
People say that your kids learn more than just dance, they learn life skills - confidence, poise, public presence, etc. - and I got to see it last night. She’s on her school’s Mathletes team and they made it to the finals. I watched my 3rd grader sit at a table of 5th graders and not only participate but also confidently explain why she believed in her answers. (Pretty sure I wouldn’t have talked to a 5th grader when I was her age!) By the end, they were hoping for second but got third. She was so graceful and rallied her teammates to be excited.
This is just one thing we love about Dance Dynamics. The care and love they pour into your children warms your heart. The life skills they teach your children shape them into stronger, mature people.
Such an amazing dance studio for kids of all ages to learn dance and have fun!! The teachers and staff are always kind, energetic, and professional. Our daughter attends and is always inspired when she leaves her classes. We love Dance Dynamics! Thank you for all that you do for our kids!
Extremely talented staff that helps each student grow to their max potential.
We love Dance Dynamics. Award winning highly qualified staff and choreographers. Wonderful kids program to progress through all ages. Great facilities and class options. Very family oriented. My daughter has made so many connections and friends.
My daughter has been dancing at Dance Dynamics for over two years now and we couldn't be happier with how she has grown and flourished. The teachers and staff are caring, loving and encouraging as well as crazy talented. They offer so many classes and a variety of things for all ages. We are so thankful for the people that pour into our daughter there.
