What makes TAFY unique?

  • Atmosphere

    We strive to provide an environment where our students are free to become the best versions of themselves (in the studio, on the stage, and in every area of their lives).

    We are well known for our positivity, fun, and attention to detail. Our students develop strength, flexibility, balance, and strong technique amid laughter and encouragement.

    We believe that studying and performing dance and other arts provides the ideal "classroom" to internalize important life lessons.

    A studio culture that is uplifting allows students the emotional freedom to push themselves to be better. They are more willing to try hard, make mistakes, ask questions, and explore creative expression. They can progress quickly when they are not afraid to be themselves because they know that they will be accepted.

    We are truly a family!

    Team members are eligible for officer roles within their teams, including Team Captain.

    Our Teacher’s Assistant program is available for any dancer ages 10-16 to assist in classes with younger dancers.

    TAFY dancers are eligible for one on one coaching to develop their skill set and reach goals each season.

    We help them build a resume of their achievements that can help them with college applications, job opportunities, and can lead to other adventures!

    We believe that if you eat right and respect your body, you can dance forever!
