Since opening our doors in 2004, we have served hundreds of students ages two and up from
the tri-cities and surrounding areas. We offer quality dance instruction taught by a degree certified faculty and pride ourselves
in teaching classes that are encouraging and challenging, while supporting each student in a fun, positive, loving, and rewarding
atmosphere! Our experienced staff instructs classes in beginning through advanced and competition levels. Many of our
dancers have attended the Appomattox Regional Governors School and high school Specialty Center’s, continued their dance
education at the college and post college level and have performed with professional dance companies locally and in NYC. To
ensure our students receive a proper dance education, our teachers train in NYC throughout the year. The owner is also
a current member of the professional organization Dance Educators of America. We offer classes in tap, jazz, hip hop, musical
theatre, baton, ballet, pointe, modern, contemporary and creative movement for kids. We also offer adult classes and private
lessons. Our dance curriculum includes recreational dance classes for those who are looking for a fun thing to do while meeting
the needs of dancers in our Performance Company which requires extra time and a more intense schedule and class structure.
Our two studios located within the building have professionally installed sprung dance floors which help to prevent
shin splints, stress fractures and joint damage. We offer our students opportunities to perform in the community and in our
annual spring showcase performance where students get the opportunity to showcase their work on stage in full costume! Gotta
DANCE! School of Performing Arts has two spacious lobbies which provide a place for parents to wait while their dancer is
in class. We provide a viewing door and schedule parent observation opportunities throughout our dance season. Thank
you for your interest in Gotta DANCE! School of Performing Arts. We look forward to extending our family of dancers
to include you!
