MISSION STATEMENT
To inspire creativity and love for dance and life while teaching discipline and motivating each dancer to achieve their fullest potential and desired goals.
VISION
It is the desire of Infinity Dance Company to give each student the opportunity to achieve their personal goals in dance. Whether it be recreational or professional, Infinity Dance Company has a program to fit each student's needs. No matter what program a student is in, the instructors strive to give the best education of dance technique. Infinity Dance Company believes in the importance of providing many professional opportunities as a part of the regular education process including master classes, workshops, competitions, auditions and more! These opportunities build well rounded dancers who will be successful in the world of dance.
At Infinity Dance Company, the development of dance technique is valued equally to the development of each student's character. This is done by promoting appropriateness both in costuming and music choices, giving back to the community, promoting healthy competition while keeping an environment of encouragement and by teaching each student the importance of good work ethic.
Teaching dance is more than teaching good technique. Infinity Dance Company desires to inspire young men and women to be the best they can personally be; to be people who are confident, kind, have good sportsmanship, who have determination and who have the tools they need to be successful in life and dance.
