History

Established in 2006.

Deborah Anderson, mom of the Anderson family, took her first dance class at age 3 and instantly fell in love. While dance was always a major part of Deborah’s life, she eventually laid it aside to raise her 3 talented children. Deborah’s daughter, Lili, grew up to be a dancer and her sons, Mourgain and Elijah are musicians. Deborah began teaching classes in ballet and tap at a local community center in the city of Colton in February of 2006. Lili assisted in Deborah’s classes until she began teaching tap and hip-​hop on her own in 2012. In 2014, Elijah began offering private guitar and drum lessons. The Anderson family intends to share their love of the arts with the community for many years to come.

Meet the Business Owner

Deborah A.

Business Owner

Deborah Anderson was born October 27, 1972 in Fontana, California. Her dad was a musician and both her parents were school teachers. With this, Deborah was practically destined to be involved in teaching and the arts. Deborah enjoyed studying music. She played flute and dabbled with piano and guitar. However, she loved dance. She began tap and ballet classes at the age of 3 and quickly discovered that she loved dance. Deborah faithfully attended the classes for 15 years. As she began her family, Deborah looked for opportunities to expose her children to the arts. Lili, her first-​born, also began dance lessons at age 3. When her sons, Elijah and Mourgain, expressed an interest in learning to play instruments, Deborah had enough musical knowledge to stoke their interest. In 2006 and with kids mostly grown, Deborah made the decision to begin sharing her love of dance through teaching. Seeing the sparkle of accomplishment in the eyes of her little dancers brings her a great sense of joy.
