Anna Harris
Studio Owner & Director
Our owner and director has been dancing since the age of two. She spent her formative years in a small town studio and moved onto a larger more competitive school as she sought out a broader and more diverse education. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Business with a focus in Corporate Communications from Baruch College in New York City. She continued her dance education by taking classes at Broadway Dance Center and Steps On Broadway. She found her love for teaching right out of High School and her passion and drive for owning and operating her own studio followed closely behind.
Anna specializes in technique training and jazz and lyrical choreography. She loves to spot new potential and help students foster their technique, creativity, and love for dance.
