At Dance Etc..., we understand the importance of quality instruction. Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff strive to encourage and challenge our students to reach their highest potential. We believe that children gain confidence and self-esteem through the art of dance, and we are proud to offer a safe and nurturing environment for them to learn.
Since ballet is the foundation of all other disciplines of dance, all of our dancers begin with ballet. As progress is made, students may choose to move on to pre-pointe and then pointe.
