Gainesville Dance Center was founded in 2001 by Tricia Deering. Our programs were designed for the recreational as well as competitive, serious students. Our goal is to introduce the "LOVE" of dance, and to take a student to their highest goals with lots of encouragement and "GREAT SELF-ESTEEM" motivation! Gainesville Dance Center believes that a student should leave his or her class each week with a strong sense of accomplishment. If instruction takes place in a nurturing environment, the discipline and commitment to be one's "self", which is learned in dance, can remain with a student for a lifetime.

We have experienced exponential growth to date with more than 10 types of Classes for all experience & age levels, and a year-round Calendar of Events.

Our professional Staff of Instructors are accredited with International and American Associations such as Checchetti Council of America, Royal Academy of Dance, Dance Masters of America, Dance Educators of America, and Professional Dance Teachers Association. We also feature "Special Guest" Master Classes throughout the season which are always a pleasant surprise to all area dancers!
