Our Facility:

 

Since opening in 1997, over 2,000 students have taken dance classes in our state of the art facility. We are dedicated to providing convenient, top quality instruction to our students. We provide classes for those dancers that want to take a few classes, make new friends and get some exercise to those that want to dance on a competitive level or who are aspiring to dance professionally.

At Dance Phase we use a core curriculum that is used at universities across the country. This curriculum is integrated into our tap, jazz, and ballet programs.

Dance Phase houses approximately 6,000 square feet of the newest state of the art equipment available. There are four dance studios with over 1,100 square feet of dancing space each. With safety in mind we chose the “Stagestep” flooring system. The sub floor is layered to create a “true” floating dance floor. This flooring system serves as the shock absorber not the body.
