Welcome to Arrow Dance Studio
Offering Professional Dance Education
while supporting the whole person
Dance for the whole person!
At Arrow Dance Studio we believe there is no such thing as other people's kids. And so, we work hard to ensure each child reaches their fullest potential by leaning into our studio values.
Our Values:
-Inclusiveness: Dance is for everyone. We welcome all genders, all neurodiversity's, all ethnicities, all bodies and all people. Our studio is a place we connect through human sameness and celebrate uniqueness. We reject the notion that their are limited seats at the proverbial dance table. Instead, want to be a dancer? then dance!
-Nurturing: Safety is our top priority and can take a few different forms. Physical safety, right now looks like our attention and commitment to a covid-safe protocol we believe in and has been proven to keep your children safe. Emotional and social safety, includes our research backed curriculum that bases our teaching on child development gathered from overseeing dance bodies and child-psychology experts. This ensures dancers are learning age-appropriate material and are supported in psychosocial developmental needs.
-Cultivate Joy: First and foremost an instructors job is to teach the love of dance. Children's brains learn best and easiest when engaged in play. We believe in a play-based formula at any age.
-Excellence: Our educators are highly-trained and are constantly learning and growing. Each instructor employed at our studio engages in monthly trainings and ongoing study hours required each season. We also prescribe to overseeing dance boards like The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance and Acrobatic Arts International that help us to keep an international dance standard for our students.
