Through professional excellence and The Dance Academy’s dedication to teaching, our faculty meets the varying needs of every individual student. Each faculty member has been personally selected by the artistic director, Ms. Donnajean Kline. These highly trained educators are not only accomplished dancers, but also have the exceptional ability to communicate their skills to our students.
