Sunset Academy of Dance is led by owner Lisa Brown, who has been teaching dance to all ages for over 41 years and opened the studio in October 1997. The program focuses on developing confidence, coordination, musicality, rhythm, team work and a love for dance for its students. Classes are described as exceptional dance training and education in a small studio environment, with exceptional and knowledgeable teachers who will inspire their students while teaching them great technique. All students take part in an annual show in early June each year, which is presented as a professional show. Competition groups at Sunset Academy of Dance compete and perform at different venues and have won many top awards at numerous competitions. Classes are open and accepting new students, and online registration is available.

Dancers are expected to be dressed to dance in close fitting dance clothes so teachers can observe proper body alignment, and they should change into proper dance clothes before class, with no jeans allowed in any dance class. For hip hop, dancers wear comfortable clothing with tennis shoes. For tap, dancers wear capri pants or jazz pants with a close fitting top and black oxford style tap shoes for ages 10 and up. For jazz and contemporary, dancers wear tights, shorts, or dance pants cut above the knee with a leotard or tank top, and tan lyrical shoes for contemporary as directed by the teacher. Children’s combo classes call for a leotard and tights in any color or style, with children’s tap/jazz students wearing black tap shoes and black ballet or jazz shoes.
