"It is the goal of Dance Theatre Arts to instill to every student a feeling of self respect, discipline,
confidence and the ability to work as a team. We believe that dance can be a template for how an
individual can live their lives. Through grace, patience, hard work and diligence any individual
can achieve a high level of success at whatever their endeavor may be. Dance is not just an art
form, it is a discipline and with that discipline comes many rewards. Dance Theatre Arts wants to
give every student a chance to experience those rewards."
Alex Sanchez, Co-Director
What makes Dance Theatre Arts any different from the hundreds of other dance
schools in the area?
It can be overwhelming, trying to make the best choices for your child with so many schools, classes and
teachers to choose from. How do you choose? We are here to help you. Lainie Sakakura & Alex Sanchez are
experienced teachers, loving parents, and Broadway performers who have a 19 year New York performing
career behind them.
Students need a nurturing environment and a well balanced training program to grow. We offer your
children a balance of fun and discipline that they will carry with them in all aspects of their life.
We offer dance classes for 2 year olds to adults. Students looking for fun and exercise are welcome to take
recreational classes in Hip Hop, Tap, or Ballet, while our more serious students enter our 4 level
pre-professional program in Ballet, Jazz, and Tap.
Dance Theatre Arts is a performance based dance school, not a competition school. If you are looking for a
healthy, supportive environment to train. This might be the place for you.
Discover the joys of dance!
