Every dancer learns a different way and it is our goal to make sure every student understands each step. We may introduce a step in 10 different manners to ensure everyone understands.
Each teacher has a curriculum to work from for each class, to ensure the highest level of learning.
Here at Scarborough Dance Center, we provide a fun learning environment. We strive to teach quality technique, performance and style and have successfully done so for 38 years.
Our staff is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and energetic. The student is our top priority and each student leaves feeling loved and respected. We want very student to leave the studio with a smile and knowledge of the art of dance. Dancing teaches grace, pose, self-confidence and showmanship, it is an honor to be part of that growth. We believe learning can be fun and students can enjoy a structured atmosphere. To learn, three- and four-year-old children are introduced to structure at a very young age. The classes are fun, engaging, AND the kids learn! The owner, Melissa Willey, constantly brings creativity to her teaching and choreography. Melissa’s passion for dance is undeniable and you can feel the enthusiasm when you enter the studio.
We want each student to have a place, to learn, and to feel loved. Whether you want to dance recreationally for a class or two a week or dream of dancing in college or professionally. We have classes for everyone!
We have company for dancers who want more commitment, technique, more training, and performance opportunities. We have performance Team for dancers who want more performances but not the commitment of company. We have our regular classes where everyone can participate in our fun, annual recital.
We also pride ourselves on organizational excellence. Every parent is informed with newsletters, calendars, recital packets, bulletin boards, email, and the website. Our organization is helpful to families with busy lives and keeps both students and parents happy.
Our favorite phrase. “Dance like no one is watching; dance to let your soul free”.
