Twinkle Toes Dance Academy
Registration is now open for the 2026-2027 dance season!
About Us:
Twinkle Toes Dance Academy is a Christian-based mobile dance program serving schools throughout the Hanover, Virginia area. Our mission is to make high-quality dance education convenient and accessible by bringing ballet and tap classes directly to your child’s school.
At Twinkle Toes, we believe dance is about so much more than learning steps. Our classes help children build confidence, creativity, coordination, and a love of movement in a fun, encouraging environment where every child feels supported and celebrated.
As a Christian-based program, we incorporate uplifting worship music throughout many of our classes and strive to create an atmosphere that reflects kindness, encouragement, gratitude, and joy. We believe movement can be a beautiful way for children to express themselves while celebrating the unique gifts God has given them.
In addition to ballet and tap instruction, we’re proud to incorporate our Twinkle Toes Foundations of Movement program into every class. Through age-appropriate strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination activities, children build the physical foundation needed to move with strength, confidence, and purpose both in and out of dance class. These movement skills support healthy growth, improve body awareness, and help children develop lifelong habits that encourage an active, healthy lifestyle.
Our classes are thoughtfully designed to help children grow physically, socially, emotionally, and creatively while having fun. We encourage teamwork, perseverance, self-confidence, and a strong technical foundation in dance, all within a positive, nurturing environment.
By bringing classes directly to local schools, we eliminate the need for additional after-school transportation, making it easier for busy families while giving children the opportunity to learn, move, and grow alongside their classmates.
At Twinkle Toes Dance Academy, our goal is to help every child build a strong foundation for movement while discovering the joy of dance, growing in confidence, and using the gifts God has given them.

Meet Ms. Julie
Hi! I’m Julie, the owner and instructor of Twinkle Toes Dance Academy.
Dance has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up training in ballet, tap, and hip hop, danced on my high school dance team, and later taught ballet and tap to children, where I discovered my passion for helping kids build confidence through movement.
Over the years, my love for working with children led me beyond the dance classes. As a certified personal trainer, barre instructor, and former kindergarten teacher, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how children’s bodies develop, how they learn best, and how movement can help build confidence, coordination, strength, and healthy lifelong habits.
Twinkle Toes Dance Academy was created by bringing together everything I’m passionate about: dance, fitness, child development, and faith. Our Christian-based program combines quality ballet and tap instruction with uplifting worship music and our Twinkle Toes Foundations of Movement program, which incorporates age-appropriate strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination activities to help children build a strong foundation for movement.
My goal is to create a fun, encouraging environment where every child feels seen, supported, and excited to learn. By bringing dance directly into local schools, I hope to make dance more accessible for families while helping children grow physically, emotionally, creatively, and spiritually through movement.
I’m so excited to share my love of dance with your child and help them discover the confidence and joy that comes from moving with purpose.
