Who we are…

It is the desire of Van Metre School of Dance to develop in each student a love for and a skill in the art of dance according to individual ability, so that the dance experience will be an enriching part of the student's life and education.

At Van Metre School of Dance, we believe in creating a warm and nourishing environment for our dancers, where they can thrive inside, and outside, of the studio. Being a dancer creates confidence in all different avenues of their lives. This is why we love to bring so much care and joy to each of our students, reminding them how capable they are, and how far they can go!
