THE IDEALS & CURRICULUM

THE IDEALS 

CONTINUING A TRADITION

Spanning centuries of tradition, Dance Florida Academy is deeply committed to perpetuating and strengthening the art of dance. Built upon timeless principles and taught from a kinesthetic approach, the Academy is a culturally rich and vibrant environment in which young students can fully develop their artistic talents. While training, producing and working with the finest dancers in the world, Ms. Hale, Ms. Cravey, Ms. Swiadon and Mr. Hoff are proud of their many students who have joined major dance companies, as well as countless others who have continued in the field of performing arts or have gone on to teaching or choreographing careers.

Dance Florida Academy is committed to instructing each student as necessary to meet his or her individual needs. The Academy gives all students artistic and technical training of the highest quality, regardless of their eventual goals in life. We also believe that the experience of dance at Dance Florida Academy, empowers each student with a sense of value and self-purpose and helps to develop grace, poise, self-discipline and confidence – valuable attributes which compliment all chosen careers.


A FULL RANGE OF OPPORTUNITY

Dance Florida Academy provides developing dancers with a full range of opportunities, from beginning dance to professional status. We believe that a student’s ability to dance comes from within through inspiration and desire.

 

 

 

 

The Academy is pleased to provide a great range of programs programs for Teens and Adults, as well.
