Dance Adventure, Dance Center of Greenwich

We teach students in different categories. First, there is the Parent & Child program, with creative movement classes for Parents & Toddlers, and Parents & 2-3 Year Olds. Parents or caregivers join in the dancing and music, mostly for moral support, and the children really make great progress in movement skills.

Once children are 3, they graduate to learning on their own. All of the preschool classes, have live piano accompaniment which really brings excitement to the classes and adds a dimension to learning about dance and music. Once the students are 4-5 years, we introduce Pre-Tap and Pre-Hip Hop/Jazz which are very popular classes.

As the students move up in age, K-12, they graduate to studying ballet, tap or hip hop/jazz in depth and they really progress in these art forms. Some students stay with us, from toddler through teenage years which is always wonderful to see.

I started out as a dancer in NYC, performing at Lincoln Center and popular modern dance venues in New York. I began teaching young children the art of dance almost immediately. We opened up here in 1991 at the Greenwich Arts Council, and then to the Armory building on Mason Street. We moved to our current 36 Sherwood Place location in 2007 and have been there ever since.

We start students learning technique right away, but for the early years we do so with music and stories. The stories I write keeps the passion alive both in teaching and learning for our preschoolers. The stories, props and themes are always changing, and they keep the student's interest while learning dance at the same time.

We have taught well over 7,000 students from Greenwich and the surrounding areas. Being in business over 30 years is a warm testament to support of the community, parents and students, and we are thankful to them all.
