About us.

Dance Tech Academy is an education-focused dance school dedicated to quality training in a safe, caring environment. We emphasize education and artistry, teaching students that dance is not only technique, but a beautiful art form, creative outlet, and means of expression. Along the way, dancers develop important life skills like goal-setting, teamwork, and a strong work ethic.
