One of the goals of the DA:NCE is to highlight organizations we feel embody healthy dance.
DA:NCE would like to introduce you to our featured healthy dance studio: The Pointe School of Dance. Located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they stress correct technique and performance skills along with age-appropriate choreography, costumes and music. To quote founder and director Vanessa Terrell, “We don’t teach kids to make great dancers, we teach dance to make great kids.” They provide instruction beginning with 1 year olds, progressing through the teen years and into adulthood. They teach dance classes in ballet, tap, hip hop, jazz, acro, lyrical and contemporary. They even offer dance classes for students with special needs. The Pointe School of Dance is listed on the Healthy DA:NCE Directory and all of their instructors are YPAD certified, background checked and CPR certified. In addition, The Point School of Dance seeks to enrich their community with their performances and with outreach programs.
