Classical Level

(ages 9 – 12 years)

Our Classical Level Artist is ripe for making that renewed commitment to her art as she clarifies her dreams.
Our competition-free culture becomes even more valuable to this young artist as she discovers the freedom to focus on
mastering her discipline in a harmonious environment.

“To DANCE is to DARE … to be courageous, independent, confident, and committed to excellence.”

Time-Tested Curriculum
At SAA we are proud to be the only school in Georgia to offer certification in the Cecchetti Method of Ballet. This outstanding system is the core of our dance program. Each step plays a definite and planned part in creating a technically beautiful dancer! Explore all the possibilities from Ballet to Contemporary, Tap to Hip Hop!

Exciting Performance Opportunities
Our Year End Performances are far more than a typical recital! At SAA the artist is part of the story creating a beautiful collaboration of dance and dramatic arts that thrills audiences and inspires the artist. The roar of the crowd and smell of grease paint continues throughout the year with our sister, non-profit company Suwanee Performing Arts (SPA). Through organizations like Suwanee Ballet and Community Art Players of Suwanee, and events like Broadway in the Park, the artist finds ample opportunity to perform. Rest assured that as a part of our SAA family you will always be in the loop as performance opportunities arise!

Life-Long Friendships
As your artist grows in confidence she will connect and develop friendships that will never be forgotten. We value these bonds in our dance family and we nurture and encourage those friendships in and outside of the classrooms.

Member of a Supportive Family
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel welcomed and supported. Suwanee Academy of the Arts is a safe, creative space led by passionate instructors who prioritize each individual artist—offering guidance, encouragement, and genuine care every step of the way.

We moved from Virginia to Georgia when my son was 11. For a kid who missed his friends and his life in VA, Suwanee Academy was like a healing balm. My son felt included right away — and never looked back. This year, he’s taking four classes and clearly relishes every moment. SAA is wonderful for wholesome, smart, sweet kids.

Start Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
