Mission

Dance Expressions provides our dancers with a well-rounded dance education emphasizing technique and artistry, not just choreography. Students will learn body awareness, correct alignment, quality of movement, and classical dance terminology. Classes will always include proper warm-ups and progression of movement, thus promoting healthy dancers, and protecting them from injury. Classes are structured to be age appropriate, using age appropriate music and movement.

We believe dance will not only teach your child movement and music appreciation, but will also develop poise, confidence, and discipline. We strive to instill the values of hard work and commitment through the art of dance. Our hope is that these life-long principles will shine in our students' dancing as well as their everyday lives.

History

Dance Expressions was founded by Kathleen Kleiber in September 1991 with the goal of providing a high quality dance education in a positive, nurturing environment. Pamela Schrier, who has been with the studio since its opening in ‘91, took over as Owner and Director of the studio upon Kate's retirement in January of 2009. Pam continues to uphold the vision and traditions of Dance Expressions. Staffed with an exceptionally talented and dedicated faculty, Dance Expressions prides itself on strong technical training, developing beautiful dancers and people, as well as being a nurturing place for children to dance, grow and be inspired.
