At Dance Time, LLC, we provide high quality dance lessons on-site at schools and childcare centers. We strive to make dance lessons easily accessible and low stress so that all children can experience the joy of dancing. Parents can provide their children with enrichment opportunities without running around after school and work. Children are comfortable trying something new in a familiar environment with friends. Our programs are designed to be effective outside of the traditional dance studio setting. The lessons are developed to provide beginning dancers with a strong foundation and prepare them for them for more advanced training should they decide to continue lessons outside of school.
Our director, Kathy Vogt Fowler, has been dancing since the age of four. She received her primary dance education from Performance Art Center in St. Charles, Missouri. She went on to complete her Bachelor of Performing Arts in Dance at Oklahoma City University. In addition, she has studied with master teachers in Chicago, Atlanta and New York. Her performance experience includes featured roles with The Dance Company of St. Charles, Southern Ballet Theatre, The American Spirit Dance Company and Stage Right Dinner Theatre. Miss Kathy brings more than 30 years of teaching experience to this program. She has worked with teachers around the country to develop an effective technique for teaching young children to dance. Her love of children and dance come together in this delightful program. Contact Kathy at [email protected].
