Meet the Business Owner

Cindy R.

Business Owner

Cindy Raffel is a former professional dancer and has taught dance for over 10 years in every kind of atmosphere: public schools, competitive dance studios, strictly recreational dance studios, and professional ballet schools. She was an adjunct faculty member at Southeastern University and an artist in residence at Dickinson College. She believes in creating a school that does not focus solely on one group of dancers, but gives equal attention and enthusiasm to all students no matter their age, skill level, body type, or career aspirations. Cindy believes strongly in not only teaching students to perform steps, but also educating them in dance history so they can appreciate what makes dance the art form it is today. Cindy cannot wait to share her love of dance with the Rochester community!
