DanceWorks Performing Arts Center was founded in 1984 by Anna Proudfoot. From the humble beginnings of a 1,200 square-foot studio, it is now over 14,000 square-foot facility that includes a women's fitness center called HealthWorks. The teachers at DanceWorks are passionate about dancing, and they want to encourage a similar passion in the kids/teens they teach--and adults as well. They teach several kinds of dance, including ballet, tap, and jazz. They also have lyrical classes, musical theater, and danceline prep classes. On the adult side, they teach ballroom and tap.
