About The Dance Factory!

The Dance Factory is an independent program. Our principal focus is teaching new and developing dancers in our open classes and hosting company classes for our five amazing performance companies with dancers ranging from ages 10 – 28 years of age.

These companies are:

Urban Beat, Urban Vibe, The Prestige Junior and the acclaimed 18+ companies Urban Pulse and The Prestige Senior. The companies predominantly perform jazz and hip hop dance with a range of fusion styles in between from the Charleston to lyrical jazz.

For those who dance at The Dance Factory, dance is a means of expression, release and joy. Dancing promotes energy and unity. Our passion is to share the joy of dance and performance to others in the community.

History

Established in 2003.

Here at The Dance Factory we pride ourselves in being disciplined as teachers and as dancers. We look for dancers who are serious about dance and taking it to the next level. We love dance and want to share it with dancers who are eager to learn more and explore their full potential. Dance develops balance, control, posture, focus and fine-​tunes listening skills. Because dance inherently involves problem solving, patterns and sequencing, it enhances higher thinking abilities. Quality training in dance and technique promotes self-​confidence, creativity and a sense of exuberance in accomplishment. The Dance Factory and its instructors are committed to developing all of these attributes in a nurturing environment.
