Nadine's Dance Center provides quality dance instruction in a healthy positive environment, encourages creativity, focuses on each student individually, and encompasses all areas of performing arts. We teach dance and performance skills that a student will use for a lifetime-but most importantly, we encourage self-confidence, friendships, and a dance family. The studio offers Classical Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acro/Tumbling, and Theater.
