MISSION: StudioDNA was founded to provide educational & informative dance instruction at affordable prices to all types of dancers (social, wedding, competitive, cardio-fit) in an artistic milieu. With respect and a touch of humor and levity in our teaching format, it is our hope that YOU will soon have the passion for dance as we do!
"Anyone can be taught steps & choreography, but only few of us can dance...I mean really DANCE! Let me help you unlock your PASSION. Let me show you how to dance anywhere, anyplace, anytime without reservation."
"Don't settle for mediocrity!!! Come and dance...Go with the flow. Create your destiny & enjoy the world around you!"
While many studios charge high rates (currently $75.00 to $125.00 for 45 minutes to 50 minutes) and require contracts, StudioDNA maintains lower rates, and does not require any contractual agreements...if you do not believe us, just price around! Gift certificates are also available for wedding couples, birthday presents, or Holiday gifts. We would love to have the opportunity to meet and work with you! We want our clients to have fun, experience the romance of dance, and do it all at affordable rates within a controlled atmosphere!
We all possess artistic creativity and display this in our daily lives. Come to StudioDNA and let our professionals assist you to reach your potential in life.
