History
Established in 2010.
Dance Across Cleburne took over what was formerly Gotta Dance. A new owner brought a fresh approach to the business while continuing to serve most of the former clients. Rachel Hunt loves dancing and she loves sharing that love with others. She feels that partner dancing can bring fun, friendship, romance, and better health to anyone. She's especially happy to be serving the greater Cleburne community (including Rio Vista, Alvarado, Burleson, Grandview, Keene, Blum, Whitebluff, The Retreat, Glen Rose and surrounding areas) where so many of her good friends live and work. Cleburne has a strong arts community and Ballroom Dancing fits right in!
