Premiere Dance Academy is based on the philosophy that everyone should personally experience the world of dance. Dance develops balance, control, posture, focus and fine-tuned listening skills. Because dance inherently involves problem solving, pattern and sequence, it enhances higher thinking abilities. Excellent training in dance technique, teamwork and performance quality promotes self-confidence, creativity and a sense of exuberance in accomplishment. Our goal is to provide each dancer the opportunity to grow and learn in each of these areas.
