Springfield Dance was established in 1995. Ronda Brinkman has been the director of Springfield Dance since its founding in 1995. The program offers short sessions such as Adult Tap, Adult Silks, Line Dancing, and children’s ballet with no long term commitment, as well as back to back classes to give flexibility of scheduling and family discounts with flexible class options.

Springfield Dance has certified, professional instructors. The mission statement of Springfield Dance is: “At Springfield Dance, we guide our students to reach their highest potential by nurturing their creative spirit and inspiring them to become successful individuals.” The program states that it strives to create an awareness of a healthy lifestyle throughout the community.

Former student Caroline (Freedlund) Arapoglou, now an actress, states that Springfield Dance was the beginning of her love for performing and a big part of who she is today. Former student and business owner Courtney Vorachek states that she loves the special friends she made at Springfield Dance and that Miss Ronda is encouraging and loves to see growth in children through dance. Former student and professional dancer Jaelin Heavisides states that dance class helped her break out of her comfort zone and installed a sense of confidence while remembering to be humble and grateful for opportunities. Former student and Disney/Universal performer Cassie Bax states that Miss Ronda has always been a wonderful role model and taught her as much about life as about ballet. Former student Bailee Brinkman, who has a BFA in dance from Pointe Park University and is a Disney performer, states, “Sometimes it's more about taking risks…so, let yourself be imperfectly perfect and get back up and try again.” Former student and nutritionist Sarah Leaf states that she was a very shy child and uncomfortable in many social settings, but that dance gave her an outlet to express herself in a positive manner.
