Watch Confidence, Creativity, and Character Bloom Through Dance
Discover why dance at Evolve Dance Center offers a more balanced and enriching experience for your child’s growth than traditional sports. Our programs nurture physical, emotional, and social development in a supportive, joyful environment where every child can thrive.
Traditional Sports or Other Activities
Less Emphasis on Personal Growth
Traditional sports often focus heavily on physical ability and competition, which can take attention away from emotional growth and self-confidence.
Potential for Exclusion
Team sports sometimes include competitive tryouts or skill-based selections, leaving less experienced children feeling left out or discouraged.
Overemphasis on Winning
When winning becomes the main goal, important values such as teamwork, effort, and enjoyment can be overshadowed.
Limited Individual Attention
Large teams can make it difficult for every child to receive personalized guidance, which may affect confidence and steady improvement.

Focus Begins with Fun
Developing Concentration and Listening Skills Through Dance
Our Mini Combo program helps children learn how to focus and follow directions while having fun. Ballet and tap give them short, engaging tasks that keep their attention and reward effort.
In ballet, students practice focus by remembering simple step patterns and matching their movements to music. In tap, they listen carefully for rhythm and sound, learning how timing and attention work together. These lessons naturally build listening, memory, and patience.
Classes are designed to move at a child-friendly pace. Activities are structured but never rigid, allowing students to enjoy learning while gradually strengthening their ability to concentrate and stay engaged.

In the Mini Combo program, every class gives children the chance to face small challenges and experience personal growth. Whether it is learning a new dance step or practicing a routine, each moment helps build resilience and confidence.
Ballet teaches patience and precision, helping dancers understand that progress comes through steady effort. Tap offers immediate feedback through rhythm, allowing children to hear their success and enjoy the process of improvement.
Our instructors create a positive environment where mistakes are seen as part of learning. Encouragement, repetition, and celebration of effort help children recognize their own progress and take pride in it.
Confidence-building benefits:
- Strengthens self-esteem through consistent practice
- Encourages a positive attitude toward learning
- Builds emotional resilience and determination
- Helps children take pride in their accomplishments

Ballet helps dancers learn to move in harmony with their classmates, practicing coordination and awareness. Tap teaches them how to stay in rhythm together, creating a sense of unity and accomplishment. These group experiences encourage cooperation, respect, and communication.
Through group activities and recital preparations, children learn how to share space, take turns, and celebrate their classmates’ successes. This community-focused approach helps every dancer feel valued and supported.

Amanda May
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.
Amy Szpala
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.
Elizabeth Stotts
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.
Carey Damon-Aleman
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.
Amy Burgess
Update: I have finished a full season and it was A-mazing!!!!

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.
Laura White
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.
Ryan Carreiro
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!
R BJ
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!
Thor Ahlander
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!!
Devyn Cardoza
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!
Kimberly Velez

Our experienced instructors use age-appropriate exercises and child-safe equipment in a structured and nurturing setting. The goal is to help children explore movement with confidence while staying safe and supported throughout their dance journey.
What will my child learn in a Mini Combo class?
Your child will explore both ballet and tap, learning the foundations of dance through fun, creative activities. Ballet teaches posture, grace, and coordination, while tap introduces rhythm, timing, and sound awareness. Every class includes music, storytelling, and interactive exercises that keep children excited to learn and move.
How can I help my child get the most from dance classes?
You can make a big difference by showing interest in your child’s dance experience. Celebrate their achievements, encourage them to share what they learned, and keep a consistent schedule so they feel confident and supported. Even practicing simple stretches or rhythm games at home can build excitement and reinforce what they learn in class.
How does dance support my child’s overall development?
Dance builds more than physical ability. Through movement, children develop focus, memory, and listening skills that help them in school and daily life. Working in groups teaches cooperation and communication, while learning choreography strengthens goal-setting and self-discipline.

More Ways Dance Helps Your Child Grow
Discover the Lasting Benefits of Our Mini Combo Program
Dance helps children connect with their emotions in positive ways. In our Mini Combo classes, students explore movement and music that allow them to express joy, curiosity, and creativity. Learning how to identify and express feelings through dance builds emotional awareness, empathy, and confidence, helping children navigate new experiences with ease.
Our ballet and tap activities naturally engage both sides of the brain. Remembering step sequences, identifying rhythm patterns, and coordinating movement all enhance memory, concentration, and problem-solving. These skills encourage early cognitive development and support learning readiness for preschool and beyond.
Each class is designed to spark creativity and curiosity. Children use storytelling, imaginative play, and musical interpretation to explore ideas through movement. This approach builds independent thinking and self-expression, encouraging children to take creative risks and trust their own ideas, which is an important skill for lifelong learning.
Dance provides an energetic outlet that promotes both physical wellness and emotional balance. Moving to music helps release energy in a positive way, improves circulation and coordination, and naturally lifts mood. These joyful classes help children develop a healthy relationship with movement, promoting relaxation, happiness, and a sense of achievement.
