DAV was created for human connection and empowering students to believe in their unique potential through dance education. Its warm, welcoming atmosphere offers a safe space for holistically supporting students—body, mind, and heart—while maintaining a commitment to excellence in artistic and technical development. Its students create lasting friendships, gain confidence through self-achievement and positive motivation, practice commitment and perseverance, and learn how to express themselves authentically in and out of the dance studio. The skills learned in the studio translate far beyond its walls. More than just dance, DAV teaches lessons for life.
