Why do we call it a project?

Project: (noun)

AN INDIVIDUAL OR COLLABORATIVE ENTERPRISE THAT IS CAREFULLY PLANNED TO ACHIEVE A PARTICULAR AIM

The Dance Project was created as a ‘project’ rather than a ‘studio’ as a constant reminder that the work we do is never finished. We teach our students that their training truly is a project - that will never end. Part of our project is to remind them that team work truly helps them to elevate themselves to a higher standard.

We encourage our students to hold themselves, and others, accountable for their actions and their training. Carefully planned out goals for each year help us to create dancers that are not only talented - but kind, creative, and positive.

Parents, staff and students at The Dance Project share a commitment to achieving excellence through hard work, perseverance, dedication, and team work.

We run our business with these goals in mind.

01. BE PROFESSIONAL

TDP provides a top-tier studio that offers quality dance training through energetic and challenging instruction.  We focus primarily on dance training, while simultaneously teaching dancers “life training” and skills needed in the professional and working world. 

02. BE AUTHENTIC

TDP allows dancers to perform award-winning choreography. Through challenging rehearsals, they learn how to hold themselves responsible in a rehearsal, as well as develop special bonds with their teammates. We focus on creating artists who can perform on stage as well as be vulnerable during class.

03. BE RESPONSIBLE

TDP teaches dancers how to be responsible for their own energy, inside and out of the studio. The Dance Project creates artists with strong technical and movement foundations, while creating a supportive atmosphere that builds individual self-esteem and cooperative teamwork. Our dancers walk out of the studio knowing how to hold themselves, listen well, and be disciplined.

04. HAVE FUN

TDP shows our students that you can find joy in the process. We understand that our students need to have fun in order to give us the accurate work we need from them, and we are so excited to be able to help them have fun and reach their fullest potential while doing so. One of our most core values & goals is that our students leave each night feeling energized, excited, and joyful.
