Our Philosophy: Dance is a beautiful art form that has the ability to develop a person physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We believe every student can benefit from dance on stage and off stage. We want everyone to have an opportunity to experience dance and become inspired by it.
Our Mission: Our school focuses on developing professional level dance technique as well as an appreciation and love for dance in a fun environment. Students will continue to pursue professional careers and/or become advocates and supporters of professional dance and the arts as a result of attending our school.
All of the classes are taught by Princess Howell, the Founding Director of the dance company, Royal Expressions Contemporary Ballet company members, or teachers with field experience. We guarantee smaller classes, which means more one on one time with each student.

The Curriculum & Teaching Methods
We believe Ballet, Contemporary, and Jazz are the foundations of a successful dance career. We also offer alternate classes in Tap and Hip Hop. The school teaches ages 2 to adults. Our toddler program uses creative movement and pre-ballet principles to give your child a head start in dance. Technique classes focus on developing professional level technique and performances as well as promote professional dance as a career option. Adult classes focus on developing an appreciation and love of dance because of the positive physical, mental, and emotional impact it can have on an individual. Please call 336-944-6146 or fill out this form for the current class schedule.
What is an Open Studio?
We are an Open Studio, which means we readily accept parents to observe our teaching methods and share their comments and suggestions. All of our classes are open-level. We group classes together based on their age and then focus on each student as an individual and create choreography that promotes the strengths of each individual dancer.
Music & Costumes
Our music is carefully chosen to enhance and accent movement for excellent performance. We ensure we are playing clean music with appropriate lyrics, yet enjoyable for the dancers. We do not have separate costume fees and find it important that we choose modest, appropriate costumes. The beauty of dance is in the movement, not the costume.
Dress Code
All students enrolled in the Royal Expressions School of Dance, except for adult students, are required to wear a combination of a dark purple and black or all black. Flesh tone tights or black tights are acceptable for ballet. For a more detailed description by class type, please click here.
