Testimonials
"Taking dance and participating in the company saved me emotionally, many, many times and is why I direct and choreograph musicals at my school. I want to provide my students with the joy and fulfillment that I felt from every practice and performance / was able to have. Dancing has always made me feel alive!!!"
CAROLYN MOTTERN, Former Student
"I took dance class for many years with Shana, and I loved every minute of it! This is why I love music and dance even now, years later."
LISA AMSPACHER, Former Student
"This organization has taught me the values of life through the discipline and passion of dance. My dance teachers Shana, Lori & Mindy not only taught Ballet and Jazz technique but life skills, and helped me grow as a performer, choreographer and dance educator. Studying here empowers you to dance beyond the physical body, to dance from the heart, and educates you how to move efficiently to achieve the technique. Dance is a gift, and this group shared that gift with me. I am thankful beyond words to give back, as a dance teacher under their wings. Inspired by the professional teachers that taught me, I dedicated my life to pursuing a dance career. When you study here, you discover you are the architect of your dreams. Together, we can start building your dreams one plie at a time."
AK MULLEN, Former Student & Faculty
"This organization impressed us with their level of professionalism within their operations, as well as their performances. We were welcomed immediately and everyone involved made the transition into dance a very smooth process. We thank the Greater York Center for Dance Education for assisting our daughter in developing her passion for dance."
