Dance Image’s vision is to create a dance studio setting while cultivating each dancer’s love for the art of dance, reverence for the instructors’ experience and knowledge, and a deep respect for themselves and those around them. The studio states that it wants to encourage dancers to aspire to be the best that they can be, no matter what profession they choose, and to encourage dancers to achieve their personal best through discipline, perseverance and dedication. Dance Image describes itself as a diverse and all inclusive dance studio that is constantly working to instill faith, strength and value in each student’s abilities and what they have to offer as individuals. The stated goal is to create a positive and happy experience for all students, and the studio is committed to providing a safe and positive environment. Dance Image describes itself as “all inclusive, all the time.”

The studio offers a free trial class and a two free lessons offer. It offers classes for the recreational dancer as well as for the serious dancer, at affordable rates. Cecchetti Ballet Academy classes are available to students ages 7 and up, and Dancing Stars classes are based off of Rhythm Works Integrative Dance and are designed for those with learning differences and special needs. During COVID-19, Dance Image offered virtual, hybrid, and select camp classes. Parents can watch dancers through a wide glass window. Dance Image is described as more than a dance studio and more like a family, with a community of teachers, students and families who are passionate about the performing arts.

One testimonial comes from a Flamenco teacher who began working at Dance Image in 2013 after arriving from Cuba, describing the life in the studio, parents watching through the glass window, the organization, and the experience of working with Miss Debbi, Miss Elysse, other instructors, and well-trained students over six years. Another testimonial describes a parent’s experience during the “safer at home” period, when Dance Image offered online virtual classes so the dancer could dress for class, join friends and instructors online, and stay connected.
