Hershey School of Dance began as a tap dancing school in 1977 and has expanded to include dancing instruction in a wide range of genres including jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, hip hop, contemporary, modern and theater dance. Our mission at Hershey School of Dance and Arts is to give students a solid dance education, while nurturing their creativity, self-expression, and confidence. It is our goal to
inspire our students to make a commitment to their dance education by striving to do their personal best. We foster an environment where students are encouraged to be respectful of the studio, their peers, their art form and themselves. Our team of experienced dance instructors provide a supportive environment that nurtures the individual student allowing them to grow and learn skills they will carry into the rest of their lives. In addition, our instructors create a strong sense of community promoting collaboration, encouragement, teamwork, and friendships that last a lifetime. Our students find that dance helps them release stress, build confidence and have fun, as they discover their own connection with the artistry of dance.
Dance classes run year round. Each class builds specific skills in preparation for our annual recital that includes every student, regardless of skill level, providing each student with a moment to shine.
