Once upon a time, in the jazzy, jumbled, jigsaw puzzle of a state named New Jersey, there existed a boisterous bunch of super-groovy kids who twirled their days away in a magical activity known as Dance. They hailed from every corner of the Garden State, from the breezy beaches to the bustling cities, and from the lush farmlands to the towering pine forests. Now, these were not your average, ordinary kids. Oh no, they were led by their fearless, fun-loving, funky footwork leader, a mysterious being known only as Captain Boogie. With a shimmering disco ball for a head, and legs as bendy as a Slinky, Captain Boogie could do the worm like no one's business and moonwalk better than a man on the moon. The kids of New Jersey adored Captain Boogie. They would gather around him every day, their eyes wide with amazement as he showed them new moves, from the Electric Slide to the Floss. He had an uncanny knack of making every movement feel like an adventure, and the kids laughed heartily as they tried to mimic his signature shuffle. Despite their occasional two-left-feet moments, these kids were the heart and soul of New Jersey. They danced in grocery aisles, in school hallways, and even in their sleep. Their laughter echoed through the streets, their joy infused in the air, and their dances painted the sky with vibrant colors of rhythm and rhyme. Yes, the tiny New Jersey, brimming with these spirited jig-jiggers, was indeed a place where every day was a dance party. And it was all thanks to the magnificent, moonwalking, magic-making Captain Boogie!

Beyond Dance has been providing a "home-away-from-home" for young dancers from all walks of life for nearly 20 years. We believe it is essential to make dance classes both fun and challenging, to ensure students remain interested in the art form and continue learning. Our studios come equipped with viewing windows, so that parents can observe their children's progress. At the end of each class, the students put on a short performance or demonstrate an exercise they have been working on, and it's great to see them growing and developing their dancing skills each week. We strive to provide an enjoyable and well-rounded dance experience for all our students. With our commitment to teaching dance in a fun yet challenging way, we are proud to have supported two decades of young dancers and their families.
I wanted to create a safe and inclusive space where students can strengthen their bodies, calm their souls, revitalize and be creative. Join me and the team as we provide guidance on being the best you can be.

For over 65 years, The Yvette Dance Studio of Performing Arts has been an anchor in the Cranford community, offering dance classes to both children and adults. Over the years, our students have gone on to dance in some of the most prestigious venues, like Las Vegas, Broadway, and the New York Ballet. At The Yvette Dance Studio, we believe in teaching proper technique and fundamentals that will allow our students to learn to dance, rather than learn a dance. Every year we invite parents, relatives, and friends to join us for our annual demonstration, where they can watch their children perform in a public school auditorium, free of charge. We are proud to have been a part of the community for so long and to have been able to help our students achieve their dreams of becoming professional dancers. We look forward to many more years of bringing the joy of dance to the Cranford area.
