The SDD Faculty have danced most of their lives and are thrilled to share their passion for dance with their students.  They hold college degrees in Dance, Education, Special Education and School Psychology to name a few, and have a tremendous amount of classroom experience. The staff continually participates in seminars and conventions to add to their education and bring the newest concepts and ideas to the dancers. Meet all our SDD Faculty members here!


Each season is culminated with our professional production of our annual recital.   The staff believes in presenting age-appropriate and family friendly dance and dress.  We pride ourselves in a professional and organized performance experience at the beautiful, Historic Palace Theatre in Lockport. The recital allows our students to present to their families and friends the results of a year’s hard work, dedication and progress, while building self-assurance and self-confidence dancing onstage. 


“Each student is very special to Dance Dynamics, from the very young to the experienced competition dancers, the staff works to provide every child with an education, friendships and memories they will enjoy for a lifetime. We work to achieve a balance of fun combined with discipline and expression, which are essential to training dancers in a family atmosphere.”
