Our Promise

At The Ridge Academy of Dance our mission is to edify the minds, bodies, and spirits of all dancers. We hope to implant a passion and love for the art of dance in all students while promoting self-esteem and confidence. We strive to instill in them the skills needed for a successful life, whether or not they stay involved in dance. We believe each dancer to be a special and unique individual and will treat them as such. We pledge to provide professional dance training to all students, regardless of the level in which they are at, so that they each may reach their utmost potential. Lastly, we assure to provide a welcoming, family centered environment to all involved with our studio community. 

Let us first teach little children to breathe, to vibrate, to feel, and to become one with the general harmony and movement of nature. Let us first produce a beautiful human being, a dancing child

WE HAVE A "R.A.D." STAFF!

 

Our faculty is diversely trained to assist students just starting out on their journey on up to dancers preparing for the collegiate and professional level of dance. Our teachers are dedicated in helping each individual dancer reach their full potential.

Here at the R.A.D. we recognize each of our dancers’ unique and individual talents and our staff is focused on fostering those talents while emphasizing and building team unity at the same time. Dancers walk away with a sense of self value, as well as, the social skill set to work with others in a team setting.
