Celebrating our 33rd year of quality Dance Education!

Dorothy Medico - Director

Melissa Mach - Assistant Director

 

Our School's Philosophy on Education of Dance:

*  To form a total enjoyment of dance * To acquire sound dance technique * To enhance a love and appreciation for the art of dance * To increcase the level of physical fitness * To develop a solid foundation for the growth of the beauty of movement, style, proficiency and all that is important to the artistry of dance * Sensitive to the various needs of all our students, our instruction techniques vary with each class, ranging from the "recreational" student to the most serious dancer * And most importantly, to build self confidence, because every dancer is special to us!

Our Staff will be happy to discuss with you any concerns you may have. If you need to speak to a staff member, please leave a note at the studio office and they will get back to you as soon as possible. Many times they have another class coming in and cannot take time away from that class to address your concerns until they are finished teaching for the day.  No phone calls will be accepted by the staff at their homes regarding dance related issues.
