| About Us |
WELCOME TO OUR STUDIO! Since my mother, Doreen
Pokusa, founded our school in 1954, we have been providing
quality dance education in Ballet, Tap and Jazz to all of East
County. When my daughters, Kymm, Leslie and Christi began
teaching, we became a three-generation family of dance
educators! It is with a profound sense of family, combined
with devotion to the art of dance, that we offer our students a
healthy, welcoming environment in which to study.
As I am certified to teach Ballet, Tap and Jazz by Dance
Masters of America, hold a major examination certificate from
the Royal Academy of Dancing and am a member of The
Professional Dancers’ Society, your dancer will be in qualified
hands at my studio. My faculty includes Kris Clark and
Jennifer Hammond, certified to teach by Dance Masters of
America, ensuring the newest techniques and trends are
combined with a full knowledge of classical training. We offer
lessons to students from pre-school age through adults and all
levels from beginners through advanced. All senior dancers
are eligible for membership in our dance company that
performs for community events and provides
lecture/demonstrations to elementary schools.
Dance offers so much more than just competency of steps.
We encourage and nurture the love of all types of music,
develop poise and confidence, emphasize motor skills and,
above all, have fun! In June, all students are encouraged to
perform in our recital. This is a lovely event allowing family
and friends to enjoy every dancer’s accomplishments. Each
year, all funds raised by my shows are donated to the Antioch
Community Scholarship Fund, giving assistance to college-
bound seniors. This out-reach is our pride and joy!
My staff and I take a personal interest in every student. You
will receive newsletters keeping you well informed and up-
dated during the semester. We are always available to
schedule a conference or answer any questions you might
have or stay informed by visiting our web-site!
Again, welcome to our dancing family!
