Mission 

     The mission of The Dance Academy is to offer professional dance training with a personal touch.  Our goal is to instill the love of dance in all of the students and families who pass through our studio doors. 
   We believe that the art of dance should be both an educational and inspirational experience. We strive to teach our students a sense of hard work, discipline and creativity. Through these acquired traits, our stars will not only become proficient dancers, but well-rounded individuals both on and off the stage.
The Dance Academy also strives to touch all members of the the community. Through fine art performances, our studio not only shows their impressive talent, but impacts the lives of audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Our performers create an emotional bond with the audience that allows the crowd to experience a deep love of dance. Through recitals, competitions, advertising publications, professional companies, and tours; our current students are spreading their passion for dance both here in the States as well as on international stages.
"Dance First…Think Later.
 It's the natural order.
