About

Leave a comment
Dance for Life is a school of dance that was founded on the core L.I.F.E. concepts. Love, Inspiration, Faith and Empowerment, as well  as firm technique. We teach the dancer not just the dance.
( Please check out our Founder’s Note to read more on the unusual story of bullying that eventually led to founding of DFL in January 2014).
   We maintain a strong curriculum in dance technique,
but we also believe that inspiring self-confidence for a lifetime comes only when you Love the Heart, Inspire the Spirit, show Faith in the Purpose, and Empower by educating the mind. This concept of LIFE is a culmination of all the things that we reach for when we need to find that little bit of extra self-confidence to push us over the edge in life. That little bit of extra self-confidence that makes us stand up to the bully, whether it be another child in school, a work environment, or own self-doubt standing in the way of our dreams and aspirations, or indeed our peace of mind. We believe that everyone should,… GET A LIFE.
   The DFL program was designed to create a nurturing
environment for the introduction and exploration dance for young and old alike as well as to nurture the more experienced and emerging dancer. DFL is for the recreational dancer, those who want to dance their way into more fit and healthy lifestyle, and the training or refresher dancer alike.
We maintain a private, sprung floor studio where adults and children can train and explore dance in a fun and nurturing environment.

This fun class is designed to teach the earliest foundations of ballet. Most little ones find it fun to dress up and the children can wear what the like as long the instructor can see the body line to some degree. Think leotards, shorts, leggings, tanks, tees, etc. Princess dresses for the girlies with leggings underneath are fine.
