What We Offer At Expressions Dance…

  • My daughter loves going to dance at Expressions!

    In her own words- “When I dance I feel like I can be me. When I step out on the stage, I feel confident and strong- not wriggly. My teachers teach me to dance and then I just dance.” I am so glad she has found what makes her heart sing and that we found a studio that brings out the best side of her!
    - Hallie C.

  • I love it ...present tense ! I can't say enough about this dance studio!

    The teachers are top notch and so kind and encouraging. Their ability to teach the children and teens surpassed all I expected. And they put so much time work and thought into the recitals and competitions from the choreography to the costumes , from the wee little babes up to company. I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else!
    - Donna R.

  • We love the studio!

    My daughter is so eager to do ballet. She anxiously awaits to go to class every week and loves seeing her teacher and classmates!
