Dance Studio C emerges from humble beginnings to become exceptional facility

3436333_mlDance Studio C has been offering young dancers the best in dance instruction since 2011, when it began, like many successful companies, in a small garage studio, at the home of Cory and Chaney Lucas.

A hit from the start, the studio has grown to a large, four-suite dance studio, able to accommodate their hundreds of students.

Dance Studio C showcases one of the nicest studios in the Valley, featuring custom, wood dance floors, huge full-length mirrors and large, 12-foot gallery windows, which allow parents to watch their children as they dance.

Even with Studio C’s growth and popularity, the studio maintains very moderate class sizes in order to ensure personal attention for each student.

“In a lot of studios, you’re just a number, and you get lost in the crowd,” Cory said. “Our class sizes are relatively small, which allows the students to receive the individualized attention they need.”

In addition to small class sizes, Dance Studio C has recruited some of the Valley’s top instructors. While many studios use older students as instructors, to keep payroll down, Studio C does the exact opposite. They offer a higher salary as part of a comprehensive package to attract the best instructors the Valley has to offer.

Not only do they have the highest paid instructors, they also have attracted the highest quality instruction, as well. It is not uncommon for Dance Studio C’s instructors to have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in education, as well as extensive dance training. Several are even professional dancers.

“We have some of the best teachers in the Valley,” Cory said.

Chaney has taught dance for 15 years, and is passionate about dancing and teaching young dancers.

Dance Studio C offers all kinds of dance classes for boys and girls, including ballet, tumbling, tap, hip-hop, jazz, lyrical and contemporary, for dancers as young as 2-years-old all the way up to 18. The studio boasts an especially impressive ballet program, and quickly developed a positive reputation regarding the program for 2- to 4-year-old dancers.

“The program Chaney developed, for that age group, is probably one of the best in the Valley,” Cory said.

Dance Studio C also offers programs for every dancer’s level of ability and commitment, from beginning recreational classes, to performance only teams, to competitive company programs.

The studio takes pride in its family-friendly approach and its commitment to making sure dancers wear
age-appropriate, modest costumes and only perform age-appropriate routines.

To register, call (480) 748-9859. Dance Studio C is offering free registration and a free class to those who mention this article. Students who sign up for a class will have the opportunity to take classes for a week before deciding which program and style of dance fits them best. For more information, visit www.dancestudiocaz.com. The studio is located at 3049 E. McKellips Road, near the intersection of Lindsay and McKellips roads.
