Our Philosophy
Educate
South Sound Dance provides the Olympia and Tumwater area quality dance education to recreational, pre-professional, and adult students in a variety of dance and movement forms such as ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, modern, contemporary, hip hop, and acrobatics. We believe every dancer should have access to the technical skills necessary to build a strong dance foundation. Whether learning dance vocabulary through song and rhyme or picking it out of a life size crossword, dance is a fun and rewarding educational experience for every student at South Sound Dance!
Enrich
In an ever more digital world, dance is a real human experience. At South Sound Dance we promote expression, communication, health, growth, and individual success, in a positive and professional environment. With our loving and dedicated staff, we teach our students to embrace self expression among each other and encourage even our tiniest dancers to interact and relate to one another to create more intelligent, empathetic, and social individuals.
Inspire
At South Sound Dance it is our goal to share our love of dance with each student and to inspire our students to be their best self, embracing each dance experience as it comes to to gain a respect, love, and understanding for each other, themselves, and the performing arts. Whether tiny and in tutus, or on track to a 4 year college dance program, South Sound Dance will inspire you to make your dance dreams come true!
