About Dance.tech
Dance.tech is now celebrating its 27th season of inspiring dancers across the New River Valley. As a community-focused dance studio in Blacksburg, VA, we provide high-quality dance education, professional instruction, and meaningful performance opportunities for dancers of all ages and experience levels. Families from Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford, and beyond choose Dance.tech for our welcoming environment, experienced faculty, and programs that help dancers grow in confidence, discipline, and artistry.
Our Mission & Philosophy
At Dance.tech, our faculty is committed to developing ROCKStar dancers — a studio-wide philosophy built on character, confidence, and community. The word ROCKStar isn’t just a label; it’s an acronym that reflects the qualities we nurture in every dancer:
R — Resilient & Reliable
Dancers learn perseverance, responsibility, and the confidence to keep growing through challenges.
O — One of a Kind
We celebrate each dancer’s unique strengths, personality, and creative voice.
C — Confident & Creative
Students build a strong technical foundation while developing courage and artistic expression.
K — Key to Success
We help dancers understand the importance of leadership, teamwork, and positive habits that support success in dance and in life.
S — Smiling & Sincere
Our classes emphasize kindness, joy, and authentic connection — the heart of our studio community.
Together, these values shape the dancer — and the person — each student becomes both inside and outside the studio.
Dance Programs for All Ages & Levels
Dance.tech offers a wide range of programs designed to meet dancers where they are and help them take the next step with confidence.
Whether your dancer is just beginning or preparing for collegiate or pre-professional training, our classes build strong technical foundations and encourage creativity through styles such as:
Ballet
Tap
Jazz
Hip hop
Lyrical & contemporary
Acro
Specialty styles & seasonal programs
With thoughtfully structured progressions, families appreciate that siblings of varying ages and experience levels can grow within the same studio community.
Professional Faculty That Inspires Growth
Our faculty combines years of teaching, performance, and choreography experience, bringing together diverse backgrounds from collegiate dance programs, competitive circuits, and professional entertainment.
Each instructor is dedicated to:
Teaching with patience, clarity, and enthusiasm
Focusing on proper alignment & technical development
Cultivating confidence and resilience
Encouraging artistic expression
Creating a safe, supportive environment
Many Dance.tech dancers stay with our studio for years because of the mentorship and positive leadership our teachers provide.
Community, Connection & Performance Opportunities
Performance is an important part of the Dance.tech experience. Our dancers participate in:

Local collaborations across Blacksburg & the NRV
Annual showcases
Optional performance tracks through our Performing Arts Company (PAC)
These opportunities help dancers build stage presence, teamwork, and confidence while sharing their hard work with family and friends.
“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.”
