The EducateDancer Studio vs. Traditional Activities: A Better Path for Young Dancers
Choosing the right activity for your child is important. While traditional sports and standard recreation programs offer physical activity, The EducateDancer Studio’s Junior Level (ages 9-10) provides a well-rounded experience that nurtures creativity, confidence, and personal growth. See how our approach compares:
Standard sports and gym programs often focus on a limited set of physical skills, primarily strength and endurance, without incorporating artistry, flexibility, or musicality.
Traditional sports can create high-pressure situations where the focus is on winning rather than personal progress.
Most athletic programs do not prioritize creativity, leaving children without an outlet for self-expression.
Large teams and group activities often mean limited one-on-one instruction, making it harder for children to get individualized guidance.
Our Junior Level classes include Dance Girl Moves/Baton, Tap, Hip-Hop, and Ballet/Jazz Combo, developing coordination, rhythm, flexibility, and performance skills all in one program.
Our dance classes encourage individual growth, allowing students to develop at their own pace while celebrating achievements along the way.
Dance allows students to explore movement, emotion, and storytelling, fostering creativity alongside technical skills.
Our instructors work closely with each dancer, providing personalized feedback and mentorship to help them thrive.

Truly a great experience! I love taking classes here. The instructors are extremely helpful.
Great facility and staff! My daughter loves dance class, she hasn’t stopped talking about her class. ☺️
We have been members of the EducateDancer studio for almost 5 years now. My daughter has grown in dance skill and technique, she has experienced performing in various events and competitions, she has made many friends and we have gained an extended family that I love and trust. The studio owner always has the students’ best interest in mind…always…and I appreciate her hard work to make the studio and the dancers better every season!
EducateDancer Studio is the best in Greensboro! The staff is friendly, professional and go above and beyond for the students. The studio offers a wide range of classes for kids ranging from ballet to step and competition teams for those students who are serious about dance.They also offer a good variety of classes for adults. What I like most about the studio is the emphasis on natural beauty, character development and education for the students. For example, the dancers often wear their hair in natural hair styles for performances vs having to straighten and put their hair in a bun all the time. It’s important for young minority children to learn to love themselves as they are. At EducateDancer Studios you get more than just a dance studio but also a family!
I love this dance studio. This is the best place to start your little dancers career!
My daughter is not only learning proper ballet techniques from trained intructors but she knows the definition of the terminology used in class. I'm thoroughly impressed!!

EducatedDancer is a phenomenal studio with a wide-range of classes to select from. I love the variety of dance genres offered! They have classes for all age ranges, even adults! Plus after-school and summer programs. I highly recommend this dance studio and the owner Mrs. LaTisha is awesome. The students adore her. 5 Stars!
My daughter has been a dancer with this studio since 2016. As an only child, my initial goals were just to allow her to grow socially and learn more about various types of dance. My goals were not only met, but they were exceeded.
Socially, my daughter has been blessed with caring and compassionate teachers who invest in her. They sow into her with not only methods to refine her dance technique but they motivate, encourage and inspire my kid to shine from the inside first.
She now has sisters in her dance friends. They work hard, practice to refine their skills and support each other. They have learned the power of feedback- take what you’ve heard and apply to do better. And with every passing year.. these ladies blow our minds with their growth! They laugh, cry and celebrate their achievements …. together.
I’m blessed too! Not just for what this studio has done for my baby, but I now have lifelong friends and a growing tribe that surrounds my daughter with love.
Thank you LaTisha. You’ve poured your heart into your dream and our girls reap the benefits of your commitment. Thank you for loving our daughters so well.
So proud to be a part of this dance family!!!!!💜
