Create. Dance. Live.
We offer serious classical and contemporary training from youth to adult in a positive and progressive program of study. Performance opportunities are provided through annual spring concert performances, informal showings and student participation in the dance center's repertory youth performance companies. Classes are offered year-round in ballet, modern, tap, jazz, musical stage, hip-hop, and Irish step dance.
You're invited to our Spring Dance Concerts - "Veins & Vines" on May 26th at 7 pm and May 27th at 3 pm. Concerts are Free to the public and will be held at JMU's Memorial Hall. Dance pieces will feature dancers of all levels and ages in many dance styles. The Shenandoah Contemporary Dance Theatre and Senior solos will also be featured. We look forward to seeing you there!

Imagine taking a break from a difficult day to visit your dance studio and dance your troubles away. Maybe you have trained for years or maybe you are just learning. Either way, this studio space becomes "home" and a place to achieve dreams! Now, imagine loosing that space you called your "dancing home." Dance & Company's "sister studio" in Brooklyn, CORA School for Dance led by Shannon Hummel, has lost their studio space. They are fundraising to renovate a space and re-open their doors this Fall. We encourage you to take some time to check out this Kickstarter campaign and support this great group of dancers! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1572665139/the-rebuilding-of-the-cora-school-for-dance

Everyone invited and welcome!
All students in Drew's classes, note: I will be holding all of my classes which I teach personally, next week at regular days and times.
I cannot speak for other faculty who may have made previous plans for travel during the scheduled break.
"Foul weather" as stated in our policies, is dealt with by having the student attend an alternate class of similar composition offered by the dance center.
Because of excessive closings due to bad weather conditions, many of our dance faculty will be scheduling class make-ups during this week in order to catch-up on class curriculum goals and concert choreography. This is optional, at the discretion of the instructor and varies class by class. Not all classes have suffered a cancellation.
Unless your teacher(s) have notified students in writing, by email or hand delivered note, that she/he will be holding class next week, assume classes will not be held during the week of March 22-29.
Be on the look out for possible notifications from teachers regarding individual class make-ups.
COSTUME PRICE LISTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL. Costume payments are now due!
Make payments ASAP.
I am required to PRE-PAY for ALL costumes and have done so by placing charges on my own personal credit cards. Your immediate payment saves me HUGE finance fees on these charges by allowing me to pay the bills as they come due.
Thank you for your prompt attention!!
