Our Mission
At Alvah Dance, we are dedicated to nurturing the artistic spirit and fostering a love for dance among the youth in our community. Our mission is to provide a vibrant and inclusive space where aspiring dancers can cultivate their passion, build confidence, and unleash their creative potential through the art of dance.
We strive to create an environment that celebrates diversity, encourages teamwork, and promotes self-expression. Through our expertly crafted dance programs, experienced instructors will inspire and guide students as they embark on a transformative journey of movement, discipline, and artistic exploration.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to instilling values such as perseverance, dedication, and respect. We believe in empowering young dancers not only with the technical skills needed to excel in various dance forms but also with life skills that will serve them beyond the dance studio.
We aim to be a hub of creativity and innovation, offering a range of classes that cater to different ages, skill levels, and dance styles. By fostering a supportive community, we aspire to create lifelong memories, lasting friendships, and a deep appreciation for the beauty and joy that dance brings to our lives.
Join us at Alvah Dance where every dance step is a celebration of individuality, where passion meets discipline, and where the journey of self-discovery through movement begins. Together, let's dance towards a brighter, more expressive future.
Our Core Values
Nurturing Dreams
We wholeheartedly believe in the ability of every child and their desires to want, grow, learn, and achieve. Providing the knowledge, practical experience and guidance to each child and their dreams.
INSPIRING ARTISTS
Exposing children to the art of dance, educating them on the history and those who came before them. Showing children that we need young aspiring artists to carry on a legacy, grow, and transform our medium into something we can only dream of.
EXPRESSIVE FUTURES
Giving opportunity and exploration for the whole child to discover who they are now and who they are becoming through dance and its practices. We equip the dancer with tools to grow and develop. We create spaces for dancers to explore who they are, both as a dancer and in the world around them.

In the case of inclement weather, Alvah Dance will notify closing and cancelations via email, social media, and Slack. Classes canceled due to weather will not be made up. You can find our yearly calendar here.
Studio Etiquette
Unless invited in by the teacher, only dancers may enter the dance room with their instructor. Connect with Slack to view photos and videos from class. Students may bring a dance bag into class containing shoes and WATER. Items such as coats, juice, snacks, outside shoes, etc. will be asked to stay in a cubby in the lobby. Parents, students, and friends are not allowed inside the dance room for any class they are not participating in. This is distracting to the dancers and staff.
