About Dance.tech
A place where dancers grow with confidence, care, and connection
Welcome to Dance.tech
For over 25 years, Dance.tech has been a place where confidence grows, friendships form, and young people discover who they are — both as dancers and as individuals. Thousands of dancers across the New River Valley have found their “happy place” here, nurtured by mentors who care deeply about their growth.
We believe in growing great people through dance: teaching leadership, self-esteem, discipline, teamwork, and creativity alongside strong technical training.

A Proud More Than Just Great Dancing® Affiliated Studio
“We love dance tech! They offer a wide range of classes from the age a little kid can follow directions until they're graduating high school! (And some adult classes!) There are multiple performance opportunities each year. It's so fun to watch my girls gain skills and confidence and then shine on stage! The teaching is high quality, without being rigid.”
