History

Founded in 1999 under the direction of Pearl D.Wardlow, Dance Spectrum strives to develop the
versatile dancer offering an array of dance classes with an emphasis on ballet training.  A family
owned business, Dance Spectrum is known for its tasteful and age appropriate choices in music
and movement.  Since its inception, Dance Spectrum has produced 13 annual end of year
productions and 5 "Nutcracker" Ballet  productions all to much success.  Dance Spectrum offers
2800 square feet of large modern facilities including two dance studios and 3 waiting areas
conveniently located in a single suite.

Philosophy

We believe that dance is a special art form which can transport, inform, and inspire.  At Dance
Spectrum, students learn more than just steps.  Our instructors strive to bring out the best in
each student.  Respect, dedication, and increased confidence are just a few of the traits
developed in each dancer--valuable qualities for life outside of the studio and beyond.  It is also
our hope that students leave Dance Spectrum with a genuine love and appreciation of dance as
well as the other arts.

Classes

Students thoroughly enjoy classes while still learning essential concepts & principles crucial to each
dance form.  A variety of classes are offered for students ages 2 1/2 through Adult in varying  
levels. Mommy & Me, Pre-Ballet & combination classes introduce the young student to the dance
studio elements, student etiquette, and basic fundamentals while utilizing whimsical props to help
stimulate interest and illustrate basic concepts.  Beginning through Advanced Level Classes further
develop the dancer offering level appropriate technical challenges and an emphasis on developing
self-confidence, performance skills, a genuine love for movement and the art of dance.
