COMPARISON CHART
How Dance at Evolve Dance Center Builds More Than Just Skills
See how our Level 2 dance classes for ages 8 to 10 compare with traditional sports. Both activities help children stay active, but our approach focuses on balanced growth, creativity, and confidence to support your child’s full development.
TRADITIONAL SPORTS
Limited Focus on Holistic Development
Traditional sports often focus on competition and physical performance, sometimes leaving out opportunities for creative expression and emotional growth that help build well-rounded children.
Risk of Exclusion
Team-based environments can unintentionally lead to discouragement for less experienced players. This may limit participation or confidence for children who need more time to develop.
Focus on Winning
While healthy competition can be motivating, an emphasis on winning over enjoyment may take away from the fun and teamwork that should come with learning and growing together.
Limited Personal Attention
Large teams often mean less individualized instruction, making it difficult for children to receive the one-on-one guidance needed to improve at their own pace.
Evolve Dance Center
Comprehensive Physical and Emotional Growth
Our Level 2 program builds strength, flexibility, coordination, and emotional resilience. Dancers are supported in every step, helping them grow both physically and mentally in a positive, structured environment.
Fosters Self-Confidence and Inclusion
Every dancer has the opportunity to shine and feel valued. As they master new steps and routines, students gain confidence and a strong sense of belonging and accomplishment.
Emphasizes Personal Growth and Enjoyment
We focus on progress, discipline, and fun rather than competition. Dancers learn to appreciate the process of improvement and collaboration, building lifelong skills that reach far beyond the studio.
Nurtures Individual Growth and Social Skills
Small class sizes ensure personalized attention and guidance. Students build respect, communication, and teamwork, creating meaningful friendships and a healthy sense of community.
Strong Foundations Begin with Ballet
Building Strength, Balance, and Confidence Through Classical Training
Our Level 2 Ballet classes focus on helping dancers build a strong, dependable foundation that supports every other style they explore. Students learn proper posture, alignment, and core control, allowing them to move with strength and precision. Ballet instruction also encourages discipline, focus, and attention to detail, which carry into academics and everyday life.
Each class is designed to:
- Strengthen muscles, flexibility, and balance through safe, age-appropriate technique.
- Teach grace and body awareness that benefits all styles of dance.
- Build confidence and focus that help students perform at their best.
Ballet is the structure that supports their next steps in dance, preparing students to move into more expressive and dynamic styles with skill and confidence.
Rhythm, Energy, and Expression
Developing Musicality, Coordination, and Personality Through Jazz and Tap
In Jazz and Tap classes, students begin to connect technique with musicality and self-expression. Jazz training helps dancers explore high-energy movement, musical rhythm, and expressive storytelling through choreography. Tap instruction strengthens coordination and listening skills by teaching dancers to create rhythm with their feet. Both styles teach focus and timing while encouraging personality and confidence on stage.
Key benefits include:
- Building rhythm, timing, and coordination through progressive instruction.
- Encouraging creativity and individuality while maintaining structure and form.
- Improving memory and spatial awareness through choreography and patterns.
These styles prepare students to transition confidently between structured technique and expressive performance, setting the stage for growth in hip hop and musical theater.
Hip Hop Skills and Musical Theater Training
Building Confidence and Performance Quality
Our Hip Hop and Musical Theater classes help students take what they’ve learned in ballet, jazz, and tap and apply it in more expressive, performance-focused ways. Hip Hop encourages creativity and individuality through energetic movement, improving coordination, agility, and stamina. Musical Theater integrates acting, storytelling, and dance, helping students bring character and emotion into their performances.
In these classes, students gain:
- Confidence and stage presence through performance-based learning.
- Improved coordination and musical timing across various dance genres.
- Creative expression that connects movement to emotion and storytelling.
These experiences deepen a dancer’s understanding of how technique and artistry come together, preparing them for teamwork and collaboration in every performance.
Confidence Through Community
Encouraging Teamwork, Friendship, and Lifelong Skills Through Dance
At Evolve Dance Center, our Level 2 dancers learn that success comes from growth, consistency, and teamwork. Whether practicing ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, or musical theater, students discover the value of collaboration and encouragement. Every class emphasizes respect, responsibility, and shared goals.
Through this experience, dancers develop:
- Confidence and self-esteem from personal achievement and progress.
- Teamwork and communication skills that build trust and friendships.
- Resilience and discipline that carry into school, home, and future activities.

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.
Anmarie Boudreau
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!
Heather Watson
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
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!
