For simplicity the studio's policy is that if the schools are closed all day due to bad weather, then the dance studio will also be closed.Therefore the studio is closed tonight Thursday January 21st.
For future reference, if the schools re-open in the afternoon, we will then be open for classes.
Welcome !
Welcome to The School of Dance Website. The School of Dance (TSD) was established in 1999, by Marie Steffen (Cragg) who combined her many years of teaching and performing experience to provide a school dedicated to the well rounded training of Dance.
In 2008, the school's focus shifted toward the more dedicated dancer. Since inception, the school's name has been synonymous with quality training. The new face of TSD continues to offer that and more.
The School of Dance offers a truly unique and innovative program which has been developed from 20+ years of dance teaching experience.
(Please note that in addition to this program we also offer advanced classes for students 18+. Please view schedule page)
What makes programs at TSD so different?
1. Class size is strictly limited. Each age group (not class but age group) will have a maximum number of 10 - 16 students. This allows us to train the students in a very personalized way that is not possible with a large school.This approach also allows the students to form some wonderful bonds and friendships as they dance with their fellow class mates for years.
2. The curriculum is set out from day one to offer the most complete training in a variety of disciplines. We have taken the guess work out of deciding what to do. We also offer written evaluations and progress reports, emphasizing the positive advancement of each student
3. The school offers ample opportunities for extra events such as organized theatre outings, workshops and master classes.
4. Staff Marie Steffen, Pamela Pittman, Sandra Blackmore and Erika Wilansky have an abundance of teaching experience. These teachers train in a nurturing and encouraging manner while challenging their students to reach their highest goals.
The School of Music is also an affiliate of The School of Dance. Please browse the website and contact us if you have any questions.
