Mission Statement
Barefoot Dance Center is a mission-aligned dance and yoga center that places education at the center of our programs. Our teaching practice is guided by our developmental curriculum and the individual needs and desires of our students. We treat all Barefoot students as artists and guide them to become empowered movers with abilities to focus and delve deeply into expressing themselves and their ideas through dance, yoga, and choreography.
