For 70 years we have welcomed the privilege of teaching young people the “joy” of dance. The goals we set for our students include knowledge of dance technique and style, muscle control, body development, improvement of rhythm and timing, music appreciation, and an attuned respect for the arts. Studying a performing art places our students on a path of self-discipline and self-discovery that will carry them through many lifetime challenges with greater ease. The dedication and determination needed to master skills will boost their self-confidence and teach responsibility.
