Academy Motto: Fine Training Does Make A Difference.
“No one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent.
Work transforms it into genius.” Anna Pavlova
It is with feelings of great excitement and anticipation that Beth
looks forward to the thirtieth year of operation of Heinze Dance Academy.
Mission
To instill the love of dance, along with self-discipline, to build self-esteem and character, teach daily life skills and boost one’s confidence. I hope to pass on my love for the art of dance to your child and make him or her a better dancer and person!
