Above the Barre Dance Academy

About the company

At Above the Barre Dance Academy, our mission is to raise kind, confident humans who happen to be exceptional dancers. We believe in putting family first—always—and in building a village where every dancer, from age 2 to 18, feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Our studio is a safe haven from the pressures of the outside world—a place where kids learn to respect their teachers, their teammates, and themselves. Through dance, we teach presence, eye contact, kindness, and community. We don’t just teach movement—we build character, connection, and confidence that lasts a lifetime.
