Located in Stallings, North Carolina, Storytellers Dance Academy is focused on a fun and stress-free atmosphere in which people of all ages and skill levels can come to dance. We offer lessons in the styles of tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, and contemporary, as well as themed classes throughout the year and an award-winning competition team. Our studio, which opened in November of 2012, was established to create an environment in which people can freely express themselves through dance. We believe that the best way to allow this environment to flourish is to maintain a facility that is both safe and welcoming. We strive to make every interaction at our studio a positive experience, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve these interactions. We believe that, upon entry into our facility, you will find a much different atmosphere than at other studios, as our main priority is hospitality in addition to the furthering of dance education. Our studio space is equipped with a wooden parquet floor, as well as marley panels. These are the styles of flooring that many dancers will come into contact with, whether at a dance competition or as they further their dance careers. We strive to provide an environment that will prepare dancers for those experiences and that is also safe for all who partake in our classes. Outside of our dance space, we have a lobby area that is both welcoming and comfortable. We want for each person who enters our doors to feel at home. The main focus of our studio is our award-winning competition team, which is currently in its second season. We aim to help our dancers excel while always maintaining an exciting, positive, and safe environment, as well as by providing fun activities to welcome all the members of our SDA family. More information on our competition team, as well as all of our classes, can be found on our website: www.storytellersdanceacademy.com Currently, all of our classes are taught by Robert Brower. After many years training as a dancer and winning a variety of regional and national titles, he has devoted himself to helping all students find the same love of dance that he has. His choreography has also been recognized at regional and national competitions. Dancing is an important part of his life, and he enjoys sharing this love with all that attend this studio. Though we are a young studio in the dance world, we understand what matters most. Not only do you want a safe environment in which to dance, but you also want a stress-free atmosphere in which you can do what you love and truly enjoy. We hope that we can always provide the balance of that atmosphere at our studio as we continue to grow in the future. Our name is Storytellers Dance Academy, and we try to live up to that name. While teaching technique to our students is incredibly important and is always a priority in our classes, we also want to go beyond that technique and teach dancers to become storytellers each time they perform. We are constantly looking for innovative new ways to teach our students this skill, and therefore teach students to grow as both dancers and performers. We are very excited to announce that we will soon be expanding! In addition to offering expanded age divisions for our competition team, we will be expanding to a new pre-competition program for the 2015-2016 season. Look for more information on these exciting new offerings in April of 2015! We have also recently purchased land for the future site of an expanded studio! Having our own facility will have many advantages, including allowing us to be able to continue offering first class dance education at a reasonable price. We will also be able to custom design our facility for the exclusive use of our dancers and their families. The next few years will be an exciting time to be a storyteller!
