Sounds extremely grandiose, doesn’t it?  What it all boils down to is the fact that we at Hollingsworth Dance have a mission to afford your child with every opportunity that children of the great metropolitan centers of the world enjoy.

How can all of this be accomplished through dance lessons?  Because movement is the most visible and therefore the most singular indication of life.  It generates health, energy and serves as a doorway to both the past and the future.

Man has always expressed himself through movement and through time we have learned to use that vehicle as an instrument which can universally touch every facet of the human experience.  Newsweek Magazine confirmed our position in education by reporting, “The vigor and discipline of dance makes for quicker information processing- a boost for the challenge ahead.”
