Our mission is to help each student realize and reach their full potential and to enhance their lives through the art of dance.
At Turn it Out Dance Academy, your child will get the best dance education in the area. TIO offers quality dance instruction by a professional and courteous staff.
We believe in teaching "how" to dance, not just a routine to perform at the end of the year. Our students learn the importance of proper stretch and warm-up, dance terminology, placement, and positions. We teach proper technique and how to express individual personality through dance. Our goals are to provide the most positive and exciting dance experience, a family friendly atmosphere, and to share our love for dance with the TIO community.
By giving your child the gift of dance, you are providing them with an opportunity to learn many important skills that will prove valuable to them beyond the stage: self-confidence, rhythm, gracefulness, self-discipline, coordination, muscle control, body awareness, stage presence, accountability, positive self image, teamwork, time-management skills.
