COMPARISON CHART
Discover the Difference Dance Makes in Your Child’s Growth
Discover why dance at Evolve Dance Center offers a more enriching and well-rounded experience for your child’s development compared to traditional sports.
Traditional Sports
Less Emphasis on Personal Growth
Traditional sports often focus on physical performance and competition. This can sometimes overshadow opportunities for creativity, confidence building, and emotional development.
Potential for Exclusion
Competitive team selections can leave less experienced children feeling left out, discouraged, or hesitant to continue participating.
Overemphasis on Winning
When winning becomes the main goal, children may lose sight of teamwork, enjoyment, and the importance of effort and fair play.
Limited Individual Attention
Large teams often mean less one-on-one instruction. Children who need more guidance may not receive the personal support needed to build confidence and progress at their own pace.
Petite Combo Classes (Ages 4.5 to 6)
Fosters Holistic Development
Our Petite Combo program promotes physical strength, coordination, creativity, and emotional expression. Each class nurtures personal growth in a positive, encouraging space.
Inclusive and Encouraging
Every child is celebrated for who they are. Our teachers inspire confidence and self-expression so every dancer can shine, no matter their experience or ability level.
Teaches Teamwork and Focus
Students learn to work together while developing concentration, discipline, and respect. These lessons build valuable life skills that extend beyond dance.
Encourages Individual Growth
We provide personalized instruction to support each dancer’s unique progress. Our goal is to help children grow in both skill and character, building self-assurance that lasts a lifetime.
Strong Bodies, Strong Beginnings
Building Coordination, Strength, and Grace Through Dance
At Evolve Dance Center, our Petite Combo classes give young dancers the tools to move with confidence and purpose. Through a balanced introduction to tap, jazz, and ballet, students learn how to strengthen their bodies while exploring rhythm, coordination, and spatial awareness. Each class is designed to match a child’s stage of development, encouraging physical growth in a safe and supportive setting.
Our instructors use engaging games, playful challenges, and age-appropriate exercises to help dancers:
- Improve balance, flexibility, and strength
- Build awareness of rhythm and timing
- Develop body control and alignment
- Gain confidence through accomplishment
Focus Starts with Fun
Helping Young Dancers Build Concentration and Confidence
As children grow, they begin to transition from playful movement to more structured learning. Our Petite Combo program helps bridge that gap by blending creativity with focus. Through tap, jazz, and ballet, dancers learn how to follow direction, retain choreography, and express themselves through purposeful motion.
Each dance style contributes to their development:
- Tap trains listening and rhythm skills, helping children recognize patterns and sequences.
- Jazz builds coordination and strength through energetic, expressive movements.
- Ballet teaches body awareness, balance, and grace that enhance every type of dance.
This approach keeps classes fun and engaging while improving memory, concentration, and listening skills. As dancers begin to understand how discipline and joy work together, they build habits that support success in all areas of learning.
Growing Through Every Step
Teaching Perseverance and Pride in Each Accomplishment
In dance, progress comes from patience and practice. The Petite Combo program teaches children that persistence leads to growth. As dancers work on new steps in tap, jazz, and ballet, they learn to embrace challenges and celebrate progress, no matter how small.
Our instructors model a growth mindset by guiding students to:
- Try again after mistakes and see effort as a win
- Recognize how practice improves both skill and confidence
- Celebrate teamwork and encourage others along the way
Each achievement builds resilience and pride, teaching children that confidence comes from progress, not perfection. These lessons extend far beyond dance, preparing them to face challenges in school, sports, and everyday experiences with positivity and determination.
Together We Grow
Inspiring Teamwork, Friendship, and Joy in Dance
Every dancer shines brighter when supported by others. At Evolve Dance Center, our Petite Combo classes create a community where students learn to share, cooperate, and appreciate each other’s efforts. Through group activities, partner work, and recital preparation, children experience what it means to work as a team while still celebrating their individuality.
In each class, dancers:
- Learn mutual respect and communication through group routines
- Practice patience and empathy during shared exercises
- Build friendships and confidence through encouragement and collaboration

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Amy Burgess
Update: I have finished a full season and it was A-mazing!!!!

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!
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!
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!
Thor Ahlander
