Dance Tree is proud to offer classes with a Christian emphasis to day school students ages 2 years to grade schoolers. Our progressive curriculum is reviewed for age-appropriate movements and music.

Dance Tree Mission Statement To nurture each individual through the art of dance, recognizing that all talents and abilities are gifts from above and should be developed to their highest capacity for His service. |
Our Philosophy
Hebrews 10:24 "Let us encourage one another to love and good works."
In everyone's life, there should be a time for dance.
This should be a time of fun and learning, of challenge and accomplishment. Dance Tree offers this experience for ages 2 thru adult. A progressive program with a Christian emphasis is designed to stimulate and encourage students at each skill level.
All Dance Tree classes maintain a low student/teacher ratio in order to provide personalized attention. Classes are available year round to maintain continuity and maximize physical conditioning.
Dance Tree feels performance is the natural goal of study! Public performance in a theatrical setting is available to all Dance Tree students on an annual basis.
Dance Tree's unique pre-school & school age programs are available in private schools and daycares throughout Houston and other cities.
Licensee opportunities are available throughout the country for energetic and highly motivated dance educators.
Our Director
Psalm 149:3 "Let us praise the Lord with dance."

Recital 2008
Recital is the highlight of dance class. Because Dance Tree has an extensive network of classes, rehearsal is scheduled in two separate groups, so that our little dancers do not get tired waiting for the big show. Our 2008 performance date is still to be announced.
For problems with or changes to this website, please contact the web site curator by email.
