Each teacher has a curriculum to work from for each class, to ensure the highest level of learning.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our staff is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and energetic.\u00a0 The student is our top priority and each student leaves feeling loved and respected.\u00a0 We want very student to leave the studio with a smile and knowledge of the art of dance.\u00a0 Dancing teaches grace, pose, self-confidence and showmanship, it is an honor to be part of that growth.\u00a0 We believe learning can be fun and students can enjoy a structured atmosphere.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 The owner, Melissa Willey, constantly brings creativity to her teaching and choreography.\u00a0 Melissa’s passion for dance is undeniable, and you can feel the enthusiasm when you enter the studio.<\/p>\n
