Since 2004 in the Upstate
A studio built on corrections and care
Three studios at 75 Orchard Park Drive, lobby TVs for recreational classes, and a faculty of working artists.
Our approach
Dance does not progress like school. Dancers often spend a couple of years in a level mastering skills before moving up — and it builds more confidence to be moved up than moved down. Corrections are the gold of class: limited time spent noticing one thing that can change a dancer or prevent injury.
Every dancer may perform in the annual Spring Performance. For more stage time we produce Nutcracker Sweets each November and field the Artistic Edge Dance Company.
