A note from Kayla

Dance can change a kid's life. It changed mine. We built Dance Athletics Studio so dancers in Howard County could train at the level we trained at — without driving an hour to find it.

Every program is built around three things: real technique, real attention, and real community. No watered-down classes. No revolving-door instructors. Just serious, joyful work — for our two-year-olds and our adults alike.

Why Dance Athletics

Three things every Howard County family should expect.

01

Elite-trained faculty

Director Kayla Clancy was named one of Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch." Assistant Director Gabby Clancy captained Elon's first Division I Hip Hop National Championship team and is a two-time NDA All-American. You can verify that.

02

A studio built for dance

Brand-new facility on Clarksville Pike — sprung floors, full mirror walls, ballet barres in every room, natural light, and parking for the carpool. Engineered for training, not retro-fitted.

03

Boutique attention

Small classes, no revolving-door teachers, individualized feedback in every session. From your two-year-old's first class to your teen's competition prep — we know the dancer.

Inside the studio

A space designed around the dancer.

From our families

My daughter has grown so much since starting at DAS. The staff genuinely care — she's more confident, more disciplined, and more in love with dance than ever.

— Studio parent

Finally, an adult class that's about technique. It's not cardio with a soundtrack. It's actually dance, and I'm getting better.

— Adult student

The discipline our son is developing here shows up everywhere — in school, at home, on the field. We can see him growing as an individual.
