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 in September 1991 by Kathleen Kleiber with a vision of creating a place where children could experience the joy of dance in a positive and nurturing environment. In January 2009, Pamela Schrier, who has been part of the studio family since its opening, became Owner and Director following Ms. Kleiber’s retirement. Pam proudly continues the studio’s traditions, keeping the focus on each dancer’s growth, confidence, and love of movement.
With a talented and caring faculty, Dance Expressions is dedicated to providing strong technical training while supporting every child as they develop not only as dancers, but as individuals. The studio strives to create a welcoming space where children feel encouraged, inspired, and excited to learn, grow, and express themselves through dance.
