New Material Coming Soon
Our students and families tell us that we're different from the rest. Here are some of the many things that set the Greendale Dance Academy family apart from other studios in the area:
- Miss Melissa has degrees in Dance, Early Childhood Education as well as Psychology.
- We never use our high school students as lead teachers. However, we do have an extensive assistant teacher training program which allows students to assist a teacher for some of our younger classes.
- We have danced three times in Disney World -giving over 100 students the opportunity to perform in Disney.
- In November 2004 and 2006 we performed in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2006 we had students in the opening AND closing acts of the parade.
- We have a TV monitoring system for all dance rooms so parents can watch their child dance without interrupting class.
- Our Web site - We maintain this site ourselves and update it frequently. Parents appreciate being able to download and read class handouts online as well as having access to weather closings without waiting through "the list" on the radio.
- Competition experience is offered to a wide range of dancers, not just the "most talented". Dancers earn many Gold, High Silver and Silver along with special judges awards each year.
- Our schedule follows the Worcester Public School Calendar, with a few exceptions to make sure each class has an equal number of meetings.
- We offer an extraordinarily nurturing environment for the new and developing dancer.
- Our classes are kept small enough to always receive individual attention.
- Several of our dancers model for the Dansco costume company catalog, have gone on to major and minor in dance in college, and are dancing professionally.
- Our competitive pricing. We are family run to keep tuition costs low. And as always, June tuition is FREE.
- We now have all of our records on computer which allows us to e-mail reminders, account statements, class schedules, studio closings, etc.
