Professional Dance Instruction for Dancers of All Backgrounds
About Greater Heights School of Dance
Our
Mission
Our Mission is to provide dancers of all backgrounds with the opportunity to participate in professional dance instruction in an open, safe, and supportive environment. We believe that dance inspires self-confidence, discipline and respect of the performing arts. It is our goal to create a foundation within our dancers that allows them to work on themselves from the inside out—and believe that it's important that our dancers not only learn the art of dance within our studio walls, but also valuable life lessons that will carry them through life.
We are dedicated to providing affordable dance training within our community, and want you to know that our doors are always open to First Time Dancers!

Although this is her first year teaching, she has excelled as our junior musical theater instructor.
