More Than Just Dance
About
2023/2024 Schedule
To Be Announced
It started with an idea to bring affordable, high quality dance education to everyone regardless of gender, race, or socio-economic status! In 2011, founder and teacher Kaitlynn Schultz set out to bring free dance classes to her community as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award. Throughout college and the beginning of her career in dance education it remained a goal to someday replicate that community dance program and inspire the next generation of dancers. Grounded in the belief that the arts are a communal experience, Stage Presence seeks to bring local communities together through the joy of dance. Join us in class to learn why we’re about more than just dance!
