At Hunter Dance Center, we believe in training excellence from the ground up. Dedication. Passion. Hard work. Respect for yourself, your fellow dancers, your teachers, the space. Safety. Grit. Determination. Creativity. Excitement. Joy. Dance teaches us so much more than how to move our bodies. It teaches us how to be more aware of our surroundings, how to relate to other people, how to stand in a room with confidence while we are learning something new and slightly uncomfortable. It can even teach us how to fly. These are life skills – and yes these are skills that make us better dancers, too. Come dance with us.
