About Our Studio

This page will provide a brief overview of our Academy, and our general philosophy toward your child's dance education.

Founded in 1984 by Chris Hobbs. We strive to maintain a family atmosphere and value our relationships with our students. We are serious dancers. however, We offer the opportunity for people of any age or skill level to appreciate dance and enjoy its many benefits. A dance education is not only physically rewarding, but also promotes mental agility and fitness. Dance is a beautiful way to develop poise, coordination and self confidence in addition to physical benefits, flexibility and strength.It is our philosophy here at T.A.P.A.  to teach each student to believe in themselves. To instill in them a love for dance, and to offer the opportunity of increased physical health while having fun.
