At Legacy Dance Studio, every dance class is designed to cultivate both skill and artistry. Rooted in ballet, our curriculum provides students with a strong technical foundation that supports their growth in other styles such as jazz, tap, hip-hop, and contemporary. For beginner dancers, we offer creative movement classes that spark imagination and encourage self-expression. As students advance, they’re introduced to more challenging choreography and techniques, building confidence and discipline along the way.

Our weekly classes emphasize not just technical skills but also the importance of dedication, teamwork, and a love for the art of dance. Each season runs from August through June, culminating in our highly anticipated Annual Showcase. This event gives students a chance to shine on stage, sharing their progress and passion with family, friends, and the community.

Legacy Dance Studio was founded by Shannon Thomas, an award-winning choreographer and dedicated dance educator. With years of professional experience and a passion for nurturing young talent, Shannon has created a space where students are encouraged to dream big and dance boldly. Under her guidance, our dancers not only develop strong technique but also gain the confidence to pursue their aspirations both on and off the stage. As the director of our competitive team, The Legacy Stars, Shannon leads with creativity, inspiration, and a commitment to excellence that sets our studio apart.

At Legacy Dance Studio, we’re proud to be a place where dancers grow not only as performers but also as individuals. Here’s what makes us unique:
