Our Mission At Above the Barre Dance Academy, our mission is to inspire, educate, and empower dancers through high-quality training, artistic exploration, and a strong sense of community. We are committed to nurturing each dancer’s confidence, discipline, and respect—both for themselves and for others—while instilling a lifelong love of dance. We believe in developing not only strong, versatile performers, but kind, responsible individuals who carry the values of teamwork and passion far beyond the studio. Above the Barre is more than a place to dance—it’s a family, a second home, and a launching pad for wherever life may lead.
