With 60 plus years of training and over 35 years of instruction between the two of us, we select our faculty carefully to ensure that our students receive the same high quality of instruction in all classes. Our teachers are encouraged and required to continue their dance education, maintaining their own flexibility and performance levels, and learning new techniques and styles for use in their classes.
