All the instructors at the Dance Floor regard
their positions as role models to the young people we work with. The faculty wants to
promote positive physical and emotional self-worth, self-confidence, and self-awareness.
We want each student to feel welcomed, loved, valued, and accepted in each class.
Most of all, we hope to help them recognize the ability they posses to become independent,
strong, creative leaders and artists in our community.
