OUR OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

The DanceIHC Academy is proud to announce that we have moved from The Parkway to The Park!

During the final leg of Season 13, our IHC Girls, instructors, and families supported the Owner and Artistic Director, Martresaca Jackson Howard, as she embarked on an incredible opportunity to reimagine what The DanceIHC Academy could become alongside The IHC En Pointe Foundation.

This move represents more than a change of address—it represents elevation, growth, vision, purpose and resilience.

Our new home, the 10,000 Square feet facility at The Park provides a place where dancers can grow, be inspired, create, and truly feel at home. It is a space designed to nurture artistry, build confidence, strengthen community, and encourage excellence both on and off the dance floor.

As we begin Season 14, we are excited to expand our reach beyond dance and continue cultivating a culture where creativity, leadership, education, and the arts thrive. We envision a place where dancers, athletes, musicians, artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and community members alike can showcase their talents, celebrate their resilience, and connect with one another in meaningful ways.

From first pliés to national stages, from dreams to accomplishments, The DanceIHC Academy remains committed to shaping our dancers through discipline, passion, purpose, resilience and through Christ. Because when you are In His Company…All Things Are Possible.

We are grateful to every family, supporter, sponsor, instructor, volunteer, and IHC Girl who believed in this vision and helped make this transition possible.

Welcome to The Park.
Welcome to the next chapter of The DanceIHC Academy and The Future of The IHC En Pointe Foundation.
