About DC2

The Power to Succeed

Passion. Determination. Enthusiasm. Confidence. Goals. Perseverance. Vision. Focus. Discipline.

At DC2, we promise to add the Expertise, Leadership, Coaching, Encouragement, Support, Motivation, and the POWER TO SUCCEED to our dancers. Every class, every rehearsal, every performance is an opportunity to grow not just as a dancer, but as a person.

Any child who studies dance, whether or not she becomes a dancer, will stand taller and walk prouder all of her life and know the meaning of discipline and commitment to excellence.

— Agnes De Mille

We truly love this world of “ruffles and rhinestones”, and are so proud to see many of our students find success in the dance industry. But we also know that wherever they go and whatever they strive to become, they will succeed because of the life-skills they have learned at DANCE.
