Our goals are to Engage-Equip-Empower dancers to develop body, mind and spirit in the pursuit of artistic expression. The main focus of our dance classes is the training our dancers will receive from us. In our dance classes we nurture each dancer’s talent and ability to help them grow not only as dancers but also as a person. We encourage strong relationships between each dancer and teacher as we feel it helps in the dancer’s education. For those dancers most committed, we are home to the Empire Dance Company, our national award winning competition team. Click for information on our Competition Team. We also have opportunities to attend dance conventions, and we hold Master Classes and Workshops led by today’s top dancers and choreographers, as well as the industry leaders in teaching. We offer a full schedule of Dance Classes in the Lake Mary/Longwood area.

 

Imagine – Dream – Inspire
