Mission & Vision Statement
To us dance is more than just an activity, it’s a lifestyle. Our teachers are passionate about dance and shaping the next great dancers of the future. This comes from a solid foundation in technique and also learning our dancers as individuals. At Act Two Studios we strive to build confident, respectful, and thoughtful dancers. No matter your background or reason for dancing, we have a place for you. We strive to build up our students through the genuine authenticity of who they are and what their individual needs may be. Our goal is to develop our students by providing them a safe place to be themselves, determine their goals, and express themselves through dance/the arts.
At Act Two Studios we believe dance education and a love for the arts provides many benefits for an individual’s development and creates success in all aspects of life. Our fun and inclusive classes provide everything you need no matter your goals. Whether dancing/the arts is just a hobby of yours or you want to take your talent to a competitive/professional level, we have a spot for you. Act Two provides a place to be creative, be yourself, and have FUN while also staying active. We offer dance classes for all ages and abilities.
