Our mission
Reach Dance Academy's mission is to provide a positive learning environment to encourage our students to develop a passion and love for dance in both classical and contemporary styles, while building self esteem, confidence, and discipline in a fun yet challenging environment. Our goal is to nurture and coach dancers of all ages on their artistic journey.
Reach Dance Academy produces dancers who are highly trained, creative, and ready to dance in the professional industry. The curriculum is designed to safely challenge students at each level. Students achieve strength, flexibility, technique and artistry through a curriculum program created by Raquel Cordova, Artistic Director, that incorporates elements from Russian (Vaganova Technique) and French schools (Paris Opera Ballet). Going into our 4th year of business is very special. It means we made through our first two years!!! Students excelled. Some started ballet for the first time, some performed for the first time on stage, a couple got their first pointe shoes and all of them learned about what it takes to be a dancer.
Perseverance, Ambition, Leadership, Artistry, Passon, Love, Inspiration, and having fun. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” – Colin Powell |
