Ballet
Our ballet program builds foundational technique through structured training in classical positions, barre work, and graceful movement. Students develop posture, precision, and artistry while progressing through levels from beginner to advanced. Classes emphasize musicality, discipline, and performance skills, preparing dancers for both recreational and professional paths in dance.
Jazz
Jazz classes focus on energetic movements, syncopated rhythms, and dynamic isolations. Students learn various jazz styles from Broadway to contemporary, improving flexibility, strength, and stage presence. Choreography emphasizes performance quality and versatility, making this style ideal for dancers interested in musical theater or competitive routines.
Tap
Tap instruction combines musicality with percussive footwork, teaching students to create rhythms through specialized shoe techniques. Classes progress from basic steps to complex combinations, enhancing coordination and timing. Our program balances technical precision with creative expression for dancers of all ages.
Hip Hop
Hip hop classes teach street-style dance techniques including popping, locking, and breaking. Students develop rhythm, body control, and improvisation skills while learning choreography from current trends to classic moves. This high-energy style welcomes all skill levels in a fun, non-competitive environment.

An amazing facility. Family owned and operated and a main stay in the Medford area. Known for professional instruction and nurturing. Triplett comes highly recommended by not only graduate students but people who experience Triplett for the 1st time! Come meet Meghan and her staff and decide for yourself that you are making the Right Choice.

My daughter has been dancing at Triplett since she was five. She is now ten and I do not have a single complaint. Madison started in Kinderdance which included tap and ballet. She now dances Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical and Competition. Her dream is to dance professionally and I feel Roger and Trish, the Triplett founders, have done everything possible to guide Madison in any way possible as well as recognize her dedication and talent. Triplett also produces the most professional dance recital I have ever attended. Triplett makes it easy for my daughter to dance her heart out!!

As a former student of Triplett Dance Academy, I can say with confidence that this is the best studio around! Roger, Trish and the entire staff are professional and know how to get the best out of their dancers while still keeping the atmosphere light and fun. The dance concerts at the end of the year are extremely well put together and don't last 4+ hours like most of the surrounding dance studios' recitals. If you want your child to get the best dance instruction and also have a blast while doing so, send them to TDA. I spent 15 years at Triplett and would go back for 15 more years of instruction

Where do I start? My daughter has attended Triplett Dance Academy since she was three. She started with one class consisting of tap and ballet and immediately fell in love with dance. I am sure it was because of the love and attention that starts with the first tap, tap, tap! Trish and Roger Triplett have the most amazing Pre-school program which begins to mold not only the love for dance, but also self-confidence. Through the years, my daughters love for dance grew and she wanted more. Again, the guidance of Trish and Roger was there. They challenged my daughter at every level and now my daughter
