One of the goals of the DA:NCE is to highlight organizations we feel embody healthy dance.

DA:NCE is pleased to highlight our featured Healthy Dance Studio Atkinson Dance Academy. They are located in Atkinson, Nebraska and opened their doors to dancers ages 3 and up in May 2017. Atkinson Dance Academy teaches recreational dance in the genres of ballet, creative movement, jazz and tap, as well as pom. They believe in the joy and power of dance which through practice produces progress. The dancers gain strength, self-discipline, concentration, determination, problem-solving skills,  confidence and self-awareness. Atkinson Dance Academy values keeping kids safe in dance and the studio has achieved the Youth Protection in Dance certification.
