The mission of South Shore Dance Academy (SSDA) is to promote a supportive environment within which students experience a truly unique dance education. SSDA offers a combination of professional level intensive ballet training within a diversified dance program, enhanced by a variety of enrichment classes taught by nationally recognized dancers, choreographers, and educators.
Community involvement will be a vital component within SSDA. A service team (South Shore Beacons) will provide services to the community, including performances at senior centers, hospitals, and community events. Of particular interest is the development of a performance program to offer to local schools, which will address various topical issues, such as bullying, addiction, homophobia, eating disorders, and self-harm behaviors.
While dance education is the primary goal of South Shore Dance Academy, of equal importance are the intangible benefits of discipline, focus, determination, strong work ethic, and the incomparable sense of pride that comes from personal achievement. It is the hope that SSDA will promote these traits in its students so that they will not only find success in dance, but also in school and in life.
