Recitals every year

We are the only music and dance school in Tucson that offers a recital each year with a grand Steinway piano in a first class, professional recital hall.  Every December, our students have the option of performing in our recitals. Allegro School of Music recitals are absolutely free to all eligible students and their families. Our recitals are held at the University of Arizona and Catalina Foothills High School’s beautiful concert halls.

Professional school with fully stocked music and dance studios.

Our School is stocked with everything you need for music lessons and dance classes, including guitar amps, stereos, drum sets, electric drums, mirrors, keyboards, pianos and more. All you need to bring is your instrument. We have invested thousands of dollars on our school to offer soundproofing and observation windows.

Professional Level Floating Dance Floor

All of our dance classes in Tucson feature a professional level floor. Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of jumping. This can put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not provide any cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer. The best way to prevent against potential injury is by choosing a studio with a professional “floating floor”. A floating floor is a dance floor that rests on a system of high-density foam, to absorb the shock of jumping. A high-density foam base is superior to a “sprung” floor, which usually consists of a wood structure built on the regular floor.

The top layer of the dance floor is also an important factor. A vinyl composite “marley” floor is accepted worldwide as the best surface layer for recreational to professional dance. Facilities such as the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England, and Riverdance – The Touring Show, all use marley floors as their dance surface. A marley floor allows dancers to slide, with a degree of “controlled slip”, but is not slippery so there is less risk of slips and falls. Very few studios use professional marley floors because of the expense involved, and usually opt for a regular floor tile for a studio floor.

All of our studio locations have floating floors that have over 700 high density foam blocks under the floor surface and a marley top surface that is imported from England. Our special floors help reduce the risk of injuries and allow students to dance longer without getting tired.

Small Dance Class Size

If the dance class has fewer students in it each child will receive more personalized attention, learn more and have more fun. With younger students smaller classes make it easier for a teacher to maintain control over the class and make sure each student understands the concepts and instructions. Our smaller class sizes make sure that no fundamental concepts are being missed. A smaller class size also allows our teachers to ensure that students are not developing bad habits or improper technique.

Our studio limits all of our classes (ages 6 and up) to a maximum of just 10 students per class. With our preschool dance classes (ages 3 – 5) we limit the size of the classes to a maximum of just 8 students per class.

Students can bring their instruments to the photo shoot and wear whatever they like.

Friendly office staff to assist you.  Seven days a week

We are the only music and dance school in Tucson that offers full time professional customer service for their students seven days a week.  Many music and dance schools are staffed by the teacher/owner or more commonly, voicemail. We have office managers who are available at the front desk to assist our clients.

Comfortable lounges for parents and students

We have spacious and parent friendly waiting areas in both schools. Instead of waiting in a retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a professional waiting area with comfortable chairs, kids toys, free Wi-Fi, magazines, etc.  We also provide large observation windows on every door so that you can watch your child’s music lessons. If you prefer, you can sit in on their music lessons anytime you like.

Month to month tuition

Our music and dance school does not require semester minimums or yearly membership fees. Our students are here on a month to month basis. We want you at our school because you like your music lessons and dance classes, not because you’ve signed a contract!

We specialize in music lessons and dance classes for beginners, ages 3 and up.

Many schools have an intimidating university style curriculum taught by instructors who would rather be performing than teaching.  Our number one priority is helping Tucson area music and dance students achieve their goals.  If you’re a beginner or are looking for music lessons or dance classes for your kids, we are happy to teach you!
