Founded in 2007, it is our goal to give every student a complete dance education and great dance experience. This was in the beginning, is, and will always be our goal. Our qualified and experienced instructors stress technique, terminology, and the mastering of all steps in our fun, exciting, and challenging classes, it is our goal to provide a well-rounded dance education and instill a lifelong love of dance in every student and inspire them to achieve their full potential both on and off the dance floor.
