How Dance Offers More Than Traditional Sports
Explore how Level 3 dance classes at Evolve Dance Center compare to traditional sports. Our approach provides a more balanced, inclusive, and growth-centered experience, helping children ages 10-13 build skills that support both their physical and emotional development.
Traditional sports often emphasize competition and physical ability, sometimes overlooking important areas like emotional intelligence, creativity, and character growth.
Team sports can unintentionally leave some participants feeling discouraged or left out due to selective play or competitive intensity, impacting confidence and motivation.
With a heavy focus on performance and results, many young athletes lose sight of the joy of participation and the deeper lessons of teamwork, effort, and sportsmanship.
Large teams mean less one-on-one time with coaches. This can limit personalized guidance and the ability to focus on each child’s unique strengths and needs.
Our dance program promotes fitness, flexibility, balance, and emotional expression. Dancers gain confidence through progress, not competition, in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Every dancer is given the opportunity to shine. Through individual and group learning, students build self-assurance, celebrate progress, and feel a sense of belonging in a positive community.
We teach students to value effort, consistency, and teamwork. Each class celebrates creativity, skill development, and collaboration rather than competition.
Our instructors offer personalized attention to help each dancer reach their full potential while also developing listening, respect, and communication skills that serve them far beyond the studio.
Building the Foundation for Confident, Skilled Movement
At Evolve Dance Center, our Level 3 Ballet and Contemporary classes give dancers the structure and guidance they need to master precision, control, and balance. Students refine their understanding of body alignment, coordination, and technique through carefully designed exercises that focus on strength and grace.
Each class combines discipline with creativity, helping dancers understand how controlled movement translates to artistry. They gain confidence through repetition, muscle memory, and detailed instruction that enhances posture and overall performance.
Ballet and Contemporary training at this level:
- Builds strong core stability and full-body awareness
- Encourages poise and focus under structured guidance
- Develops flexibility and endurance through progressive skill work
- Strengthens both technical ability and expressive quality
Elevate Energy, Musicality, and Expression Through Jazz and Tap
Our Jazz and Tap classes give dancers the opportunity to develop musicality, precision, and stage presence through movement that blends energy with control. Jazz challenges students to move with power, rhythm, and confidence while Tap enhances timing, clarity, and coordination.
Both styles promote quick thinking and rhythm awareness, helping dancers strengthen their focus and body control. Classes are filled with engaging choreography that motivates students to push their boundaries while having fun.
Through Jazz and Tap, students:
- Build coordination, rhythm, and timing skills
- Learn to connect movement to music with confidence
- Improve focus, endurance, and agility
- Gain performance confidence and awareness of space and tempo
Inspiring Creativity and Confidence Through Hip Hop and Musical Theater
Our Hip Hop and Musical Theater classes give dancers a chance to step into the spotlight and showcase their individuality. Hip Hop classes teach rhythm, style, and attitude while promoting coordination, strength, and stamina. Dancers learn to move with precision and confidence, using choreography that feels modern, athletic, and expressive.
In Musical Theater, students explore how dance connects with acting and storytelling. They learn to express character, emotion, and intent through choreography and stage movement. This combination builds confidence, creativity, and the ability to perform with purpose.
These styles help dancers:
- Build charisma and confidence through performance-based learning
- Strengthen coordination, control, and rhythm awareness
- Learn expression and storytelling through movement
- Develop teamwork and presence in ensemble pieces
Creating Confident, Collaborative Dancers Who Thrive Together

My daughter has been taking classes with Evolve since she was 4 years old and I can’t express how amazing it has been. Not only are the classes perfectly structured but the environment is positive, encouraging, and fun! She has shown so much growth under the instruction of Miss Karley. We can’t recommend this studio enough.
I have been taking Evolve adult dance classes for three years and it has been amazing! Tap, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop are offered for adults weekly. The classes are challenging but accessible to beginners. The community of adult dancers is really supportive too. It’s a great learning environment.
Update: I have finished a full season and it was A-mazing!!!!
I participated in the recital too! Sooo much fun. I have made it to the adult dance company.
If you are a beginner or have been dancing for a long time.......
The classes are great!!!!!
You can do it!!!!!

Very happy to have found Evolve Dance Center.
Fantastic adult program. It's been a while since I have danced. Karley and the other ladies made it so easy to fit in.
Big bonus is it's easy to get to on a main road in Lakeville. Parking in back.
Facility is daily large inside with the entry and main room being notably large with sufficient seating and space for guardians/parents to wait. Very clean and bright inside.
Andrea seems to be friendly with the kids and parents alike!
Both of my daughter's have been dancing at Evolve for the past 3 years and are enjoying Miss Karley's dance studio! They have so much fun and have increased their confidence and built great relationships!!
Whether you are looking for a dance class for fun for an adult or for your child, I highly recommend you choose Evolve! As an adult dance I feel excited about being challenged and build confidence about dance. Did I mention the people I have met at evolve have all become my friends!?! My daughter who is 2 also take class and she looks forward to going to dance and Miss Karley is so wonderful with children while also demonstrating proper skills and techniques while teaching! Come try Evolve!
My daughters absolutely love Miss Karley at Evolve Dance Center. It was their first year dancing and we will definitely be going back next season. My girls can't wait!
I have been going to Evolve since 2023 and my girls absolutely love it. The atmosphere is so fun and friendly. I’ve loved watching my girls gain new confidence and friendships. Highly recommend!
Karley and her team are amazing. My three-year-old started halfway through the dance season and felt super nervous to start. Her dance teachers were patient and made her feel comfortable while she warmed up to everyone. She now loves dance class and everyone at the studio. The communication was flawless and the recital went so smoothly. We will be returning this fall for another season!
Evolve Dance Center is simply amazing! My 5-year-old has been doing ballet, tap, and jazz there, and it's been a truly wonderful experience. The variety of styles keeps her engaged, and the instructors do an incredible job of teaching technique in a way that's both effective and enjoyable for young children. The studio has such a warm, positive, and inclusive vibe. It's clear they genuinely care about their students. So glad we found Evolve!
Choose the one that best reflects your personal experience!
Evolve Dance Center is a great dance studio! My daughter has been dancing here for 3 seasons and she has displayed exceptional growth in this short amount of time. The studio itself has also displayed positive changes and improvements in expanding all endeavors. Each teacher we have worked with has shown proficiency, support and has always created a pleasant environment. When I asked my daughter how she would describe her dance experience she told me it was exciting but also sad when each season comes to an end. We strongly recommend Evolve Dance Center to anyone looking to begin a new dance journey or strengthen and advance their current skills.
My family and I found Evolve at a point where my daughter was about to give up on dance. We were at an established studio a few towns over, and the huge class sizes/lack of instruction were making it not enjoyable.
As a dancer myself for nearly 20 years, I have interacted with many instructors/owners. Ms. Karley is the absolute best mix of kind, organized, and meticulous. She doesn't allow her dancers to settle for anything less than their best. My daughter went 3 years without ever being corrected on her mistakes, and Ms. Karley/Ms. Andrea are so patient while showing her the proper way to hold and move her body.
Ms. Karley sends a weekly e-mail update and records and posts the videos for her dancers to practice and improve their skills prior to their next class. Everything is digital, including payments/invoices, which is great for busy parents. Also, while not expected by any means, she usually replies immediately to all questions, whether it be through text or e-mail.
I would highly recommend Evolve to both new and experienced dancers. I feel so lucky that we've found Ms. Karley's studio within her second year of opening, and we look forward to growing along with it.
I am very happy to have found Evolve Dance Center! I am now apart of the adult dance program. it's been a while since I have danced. Miss Karley and the other ladies were very welcoming.

Discover How Dance Builds Lifelong Strength, Focus, and Confidence
As dancers gain experience, they begin to take initiative in group work and choreography. Our Level 3 students often become role models for younger dancers, learning how to guide, encourage, and set a positive example. This builds leadership qualities that strengthen confidence and communication both inside and outside the studio.
Dance engages both the mind and body, improving memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Learning choreography challenges students to think critically and stay present, which supports better focus in school and other activities. These lessons translate into sharper study habits and higher attention to detail.
Through expressive movement, dancers learn to channel their emotions in healthy and creative ways. Each style, including contemporary, modern, and musical theater, helps students connect feelings with movement while building emotional intelligence and self-awareness. This understanding allows them to approach new experiences with confidence, focus, and a calm mindset.
Students in Level 3 classes develop stage readiness through rehearsals and performance opportunities. They learn how to manage nerves, perform under pressure, and celebrate effort over perfection. These experiences foster self-assurance, adaptability, and pride in personal growth, preparing them for success in dance and beyond.
