Our Mission

Providing a pre-professional dance company to allow talented dancers between 10 - 22 years of age to experience a professional level dance training, while providing an atmosphere promoting a healthy, active lifestyle, physical fitness and self-confidence whereas values such as self-discipline, goal setting and hard work can be stressed. We strive to provide community service by sharing talent, time, labor and gifts with others.

Fancy Dancers company members currently range in age from 11 - 18 years. All dancers have a strong dance background in tap, ballet and jazz.

Recent Highlights: The Fancy Dancers returned from their European tour where they visited Italy, France, Tunisia and Spain. The dancers performed on the MSC Fantasia cruise ship as well as a performance at Disneyland Paris. The two-week tour provided the dancers not only with an opportunity to experience European culture first hand, but also with a chance to see the artform of dance as it was made famous in select areas such as Barcelona and Paris.
