Bare feet are not allowed.

The Dance Center offers some great opportunities with performing companies in tap, jazz, modern and hip hop. Dancers are selected for individual companies either by audition or by teacher recommendation. New dancers are welcome to try out. See company directors for more information or to discuss requirements. Auditions are usually in April. Click here to learn more

Local and regional health restrictions suggest limiting the number of people we can accept indoors. Whenever possible, we ask that you drop students off and minimize your stay in the studio interior so we can maintain a reasonable occupancy levels and social distancing.
