Dance Explosion was founded in 2001 to fill a need in the North Charleston area.  It was our hope to bring Professional instruction in the art of dance to this area.  We didn't want just another dance studio.  We wanted a studio built around the betterment of each and every student.  Not just the good dancers or "team students" but Every dancer.  Each dancer is different in what they want to achieve through this art.  Some want to take dance for fun and enjoy 1 class a week and some want to go all the way.  Whether this means only while attending school or preparing for a career in the dance field.  We at Dance Explosion are prepared for all of these students.

We hire the most professional staff we can find to work with our students and they are held to the strictest guidelines.  We work from a curriculum, so we know what each level should be working on during the year.  This helps with the advancement of levels,  when a student has completed their perspective level they are promoted to the next.  Every student learns and progresses at their own speed, not just because of age or time spent in a particular level.

We offer a wide variety of disciplines for a dancer to explore.  Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Modern, Lyrical, and Hip Hop in the various levels to accommodate all of our students.  We strive to use age appropriate and clean music.  Our costuming is planned around the student's class as a whole to make sure no one feels uncomfortagle at performances.

For the more committed dancer, we have established a performing and competition team.  This allows these students to participate in local performances as well as traveling to competitions and conventions during the year.  Giving them more opportunities to perform and train.


Beginning with the 2008-9 school year, our North Charleston location opened an Afterschool Dance Arts Program.  Although it is small, the students participating are progressing very well in their dance training.  After school students receive 4 dance classes per week.  We also have snack time, play time, homework time allotted during the week.

Our summer session offers a full day dance intensive beginning at 9am and ending at 5 pm.  We offer classes in Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Students 5+ will be able to take advantage of a full day program as well as individual  classes in the evening.

We are excited you are looking at our studio  and welcome you to visit either one of our studios.  View Classes, try a class, ask questions, etc.
