PROGRAMS WE OFFER
We are Utah Valley’s top after-school Ballroom Competition Team & Technique Program!
Our award-winning ballroom teams perform and compete around Utah and Idaho, dazzling crowds with their beautiful costumes and intricate formations! Our technique classes offer elite-level training in all levels of Latin and ballroom from some of the best teachers in Utah Valley!
Some of our classes are for team members only, but we do offer recreational classes for kids just starting out and for dancers looking to get some extra training without the commitment of an ISD team!
Our heritage is in Polynesian Dance – that’s why our name is Island Style!
Our Polynesian Dance program has helped spread the vibrant culture of the islands for over forty years! Our technique classes offer training in Hawaiian, Māori, and Tahitian styles of dance from some of the most experienced teachers in Utah. We focus heavily on building technical proficiency, and some of our students have even gone on to dance with the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii and with BYU’s Living Legends!
For our students who love to share the spirit of aloha, we also offer performing teams for dancers of all ages!
(NEW!) We are now offering Tahitian Drumming classes with Jay Medeiros, a professional Tahitian Drummer with over 45 years of experience! Check out our Polynesian Classes for more information!
Ballet – the technical foundation for all styles of dance!
Our ballet program offers non-competitive technique classes that are sure to help your dancer develop elegance, beauty, and grace in an uplifting, low-stress environment. Our highly-trained ballet instructors teach a progression of ballet terms and technique using patience, kindness, and creativity! We offer classes for children as young as two years old at an unbeatable price!
Jazz & More – Something for everyone!
Our Jazz & More program combines great technique with LOTS OF FUN! Our jazz combo program offers a wide range of technique class combinations, including: jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, contemporary, and/or tumbling. We offer classes for children as young as two years old at an unbeatable price!
Under our Jazz & More program, we also offer contemporary and hip hop classes for experienced dancers ages 18+.
For dancers who love performing, we offer non-competitive jazz performance teams!
We offer two levels of teams:
For our little ones, we offer “walk-on” teams (No audition necessary) – you can register your dancer right away!
Our older dancers are invited to participate by audition only.
Traditional instruction in Shotokan Karate!
Although we are best known for our dance programs, we also offer traditional instruction in Shotokan Karate. All five of the “Podzikowski kids” earned their second-degree-black-belts (Nidan). We are a non-competitive martial arts program – our focus is on developing the physical skills and life skills that martial arts instill in youth.
The Mission of our Karate Program
“The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.”
Geichin Funakoshi – Founder of Shotokan Karate
Tumbling – the perfect blend of fitness and fun!
Our tumbling classes are a fun environment where students will work on balance, flexibility, coordination, conditioning, and tumbling skills in a safe, controlled, and encouraging environment! Come learn how to tuck, roll, flip, and twist!
