Welcome to
Shift Dance Academy!

After a decade and a half of incredible growth and success, Shift Dance Academy is thrilled to enter our FIFTHTEENTH year this coming September!

OUR MISSION

At our studio, we believe that elite training and balanced life should go hand in hand.  Our mission is to  provide high-caliber technical instruction for all ages through a philosophy of quality over quantity.

As the ONLY studio on the North Shore to offer weekend-free competitive and performance programs, we are committed to fostering an environment where artistry thrives alongside family time and personal growth.  We aim to inspire a lifelong love of movement while empowering out students to become confident, well-rounded individuals who excel both on the stage in the community.

OUR STUDIO

In September 2012, Shift Dance Academy opened it’s doors for the first time.

Our goal has been to create a space that is bright, modern and comfortable all at the same time. We want our parents and dancers to enjoy their time at Shift as much as we do!

Shift is the story of a little girl with a big dream, and it’s a dream that came true!  Every day I wake up and am so thankful to be doing what I love doing surrounded by people who share the same passion and enthusiasm for dance that I do!  We have the best staff and we are working with the best kids! It’s more than I ever could have dreamed of!
