ABOUT US

Dancing and more since '64!

Our desire is to bring young dancers together to share the rewards of poise, self confidence, friendship and of course, The Love of Dance! Our goal is not only to teach them to dance, but to play a strong and positive role in their development.

The Dance Center gives its students the chance to receive the approval of someone other than their family and friends – we have a very supportive staff and we create many social situations in which our dancers can participate.

Being a part of weekly classes, recitals, parades and other performances give each student a unique advantage. They are able to walk into may of life’s experiences prepared to present themselves in a favorable light… after already knowing the acceptance of a public audience. Having once heard the applause for one’s efforts provides the groundwork on which self confidence is built. It is these early experiences that can have a positive effect on later developments!

We accept the responsibility and will try very hard to make “dancing school” a wonder experience for you and your family!
