Many of the teachers in our core staff grew up dancing at TDA and consider your dancer's happiness, progress and development a central part of their job.
If you're seeking a full-time studio that blends comfort, relationships, and support with training, development and mastery, The Dance Authority is for you!

She danced for 4 years on the Varsity Dance Team in High School. She attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Dance minor. While in college, she taught at a studio in Lincoln and choreographed multiple award winning dances in her 4 years on staff.
