Gotta DANCE! School of Performing Arts, Inc.,
located in Prince George, Virginia is in its eighth year of operation. The studio is centrally located in
the tri-cities area and is minutes from Fort Lee. Since its grand opening, Gotta DANCE! has grown from one
to two studios, both conveniently located within the same building. Each dance room has a professionally installed sprung
dance floor. This floor prevents shin splints and ligament injuries most commonly attributed to rigid surfaces. It is ideal
for all forms of dance and enhances the dancers' performance. Gotta DANCE! offers classes in the following disciplines:
ballet (Cecchetti Method), pointe, lyrical, jazz, theatre jazz, hip hop, tap, modern, gymnastics and baton. We offer
classes for ages 2 and up and also offer discounted adult classes for college students and adults of all ages!
Our philosophy at Gotta DANCE! is to provide a positive
and well structured environment for each of our dancers. Our dance instructors have all have degrees in dance.
Our focus is to provide a dance education for our students with an emphasis on technique. We believe in taking
hold of all opportunities that come our way! Our students are given the opportunity to perform in Christmas parades,
tree lighting ceremonies, dance competitions, dance workshops, dance classes at Broadway Dance Center in New York City and
The Virginia Dance Festival, a benefit for Richmond Children's Hospital. We have also had the honor to have Lainie Munro,
NYC based choreographer and performer, and Marvin Millora, Prince George native and lead back-up dancer for Justing Beiber, conduct
dance workshops at our studio. We take pride in knowing
that any student who comes to dance with us leaves us with a broader knowledge of dance and a higher self-esteem.
