Who We Are

For over 35 years, TTP Academy has given life to dreams and ignited the imaginations of those on stage in the Lake Country area and beyond. We value dance as an art form and an amazing addition to a person’s life.

Our Philosophy

Using tested and perfected curricula that are both age and developmentally appropriate, we teach all aspects of the art. We teach with diligence, professionalism and individual attention to each of our class members and use good taste in choosing costumes, with dress codes for ballet and most other classes. More than a dance class, our goal is to support the mind, body and spirit of each student to inspire a lifelong love for the performing arts.

Our Past, Present & Your Future

TTP Academy was previously known as To The Pointe Performing Arts. We rebranded and relocated our dance classes to local community centers in 2016, making dance more accessible to all age levels. We continue to improve the way we teach to create opportunities for our students, and sometimes the community at large, to perform, travel, and be a part of many dance and performing arts experiences. These may include trips throughout the state or Chicago with master class opportunities and adjudication from well-known people in the industry.

Our membership in local and national organizations opens the door to scholarships, workshops and limitless resources for our dance academy students.
