Our Philosophy
At TDS, we teach the art and enjoyment of dance in a positive, friendly atmosphere to all ages and abilities. Beginner to advanced, recreational to competition classes are offered at TDS. The Dance Studio was established in Fairmount in 1978 and opened in Manlius in 1987. We have served thousands of area youth over the years. We watch and enjoy the growth and development of our dancers from tiny tots right up through high school graduation and with pride, watching many of them move onto dance at a higher level beyond TDS. We call ourselves "the fun place to dance"...fun in that we believe that learning dance at all levels, can and should be a pleasant activity and to be enjoyed, so one can develop a life-long interest in the art of dance no matter what their level of desire and ability!
I believe that as instructors and people in a position to influence young people, that we owe it to encourage them to explore all opportunities for developing their lives. At The Dance Studio CNY, we encourage students to have time for school work, participate in theater, play sports, musical instruments and school activities. Our program is adaptable to that end in that our advanced classes are scheduled over 2-3 days per week, allowing ample time to fit in and enjoy a well-rounded youth! We have many additional classes that can be added in for an even stronger dance training. . We also have many individual classes that one can take.
A wonderful form of exercise, dance develops coordination, poise, body awareness and confidence. This confidence carries over into other areas of school and life. While not everyone will become a prima ballerina or a Broadway tap dancer, everyone can and should learn to move to the music! No one should be afraid to get on the dance floor at a school dance or a wedding! Dance can be a part of your entire life!
Countless TDS graduates are performing on college dance teams, college repertory companies, in college musical theater programs, summer stock theater and Broadway!
Enrich your child's life with dance at The Dance Studio CNY and still have time for the rest! Develop lifelong friendships between dancers, parents and families! We look forward to meeting you and teaching you to DANCE!!
