The Springs Dance Mission

Positive Transformations

Springs Dance was founded on the belief that positive movement communities have a special power to change lives.

Changing the Course

Obesity, isolation, and uncertainty are just a few of the real challenges youth and adults face today. Many are longing for the support of a positive community.

Motivated by passion for movement, the founders saw first-hand the ways dance, acrobatics, and music helped to change the course for students - beginning with building healthy bodies as a foundation for learning to practice discipline, work with others, face challenges with grace, and take creative approaches to problem solving...all with the support of like-minded developing artists and instructors.

Training Leaders

With a commitment to these founding principles, Springs Dance has trained artists in Colorado Springs to lead both in and out of the studio. Students grow from their first halting steps to learning to master their own movements and then sharing their experience with the next generation. The focus, discipline, and creativity students practice every week in the studio go with them into their personal, academic, and professional lives bringing them success both on and off the floor.

Doing it with Joy

Part of the magic of teaching leadership through dance is the genuine satisfaction and joy you experience as you practice. It's suddenly easier to stay motivated and committed as you work with your instructors to become your very best selves.

The Leadership Program

Dance practice builds creativity, keeps you engaged in life, and gives you the opportunity to share your passion with others. At Springs Dance, we build on that love with a focus on developing those leadership skills that will allow our students to get the most out of their training at the studio, progress as quickly as possible, and be prepared to lead both in and out of the studio.

It's not about trophies

We take care to avoid a focus on trophies, competitions, and waistlines which can create a competitive atmosphere of anxiety and poor body image where only a few students shine and others are left on the sidelines.

Excellence can be achieved by all students, regardless of age, body type, or natural ability. You can refine your talents while strengthening your weaknesses with opportunities to succeed and meaningfully contribute in diverse areas of the studio in Springs Dance programs.
