Dance Is the Hidden Language of the Soul

OUR VISION

Our vision is to inspire all children through the beautiful art of dance to grow into confident, competent and empowered adults.  Through our nurturing and caring instruction, our dancers view the dance studio as their second-home and an integral part of their childhood.

OUR VALUES

At All That Jazz we believe in:

  • Passion & Fun – We lead by example! Our staff is passionate about teaching dance and we strive to pass along our life-long love for dance and movement in super-fun classes.
  • Family – Each and every student is an important member of our dance family.  We treat our dancers with respect and love.  And, in return, they treat each other with kindness and support.  Our dance studio is a home away from home for many of our students and one that is filled with happiness and joy.
  • Inclusion – At All That Jazz, we foster an environment where all genders, body shapes, and learning styles are appreciated and encouraged.  Our classes are clique-free and judgment-free.  Every child is given the freedom to reach their full potential.
  • Teamwork – We are stronger when we work together.  Connection creates friendships. Friendships create confidence.  Confident children become accomplished adults.
  • Building Self-Esteem – With so much competition in their everyday lives, our students deserve to have that one special place, where they feel safe and can grow their confidence.  In keeping with our core values, we don’t participate in dance competitions.  Our classes focus on teaching proper technique and fostering a life-long love and appreciation for the art of dance and joy of movement.
