4. Pinnacle Arts Collective

Choosing the Right Class
- Age & Level: Studios often categorize by skill (beginner/intermediate/advanced) and age groups.
- Style Focus: Some emphasize athleticism; others prioritize artistry—ask about their philosophy.
- Trial Classes: Most studios offer drop-in rates before committing.
Stanberry’s lyrical dance community is small but mighty. Whether you’re drawn to Grace & Motion’s emotional depth or Pinnacle’s high-energy drills, there’s a studio to match your rhythm. Lace up, lean into the music, and let your movement tell the story.
