DESCRIPTION

Executive Directory of Dance Studios, Schools, and Halls allows you to target individuals that own and operate a dance studio, school, and/or hall. A dance studio is a place to learn and rehearse dancing. Dance studio’s consists of a smooth floor covering or, if used for tap dancing, by a hardwood floor. In most cases the floor is sprung, meaning the construction of the floor provides a degree of flexibility to absorb the impact of intensive dance exercise, such as jumping. This is considered vital to promote good health and safety.

Dance Studio’s, Schools and Halls is an industry that constitutes a very small portion of the overall recreation category. It is dominated by small, independent schools run by sole proprietors, usually owner-operators. There are two major nationwide dance school chains that cater to adults. Independent studios, which are primarily involved in teaching ballet and tap dancing to children, outnumber other franchises by about six to one.

Dance studios and halls also benefited from the fitness craze, as people danced for exercise and to relieve tension. Dance studios began to coordinate more competitions, which encouraged students to take more lessons in preparation for competition. The growing popularity of recreational dance was evidenced by the number of Web sites devoted to ballroom, folk, Latin, swing, and country/western dancing. These sites offer directories of schools, dance halls, and competitions.

Dance Studios, Schools and Halls teach various types of dancing such as, ballet, belly, bolero, cha-cha, foxtrot, hustle, international dancing, jive, lindy hop, mambo, merenque, paso doble, polka, quickstep, rumba, salsa, samba, shag, swing, tango, two step, Viennese waltz, and wedding dancing. Dance studio’s put together dance recitals and enter dance competitions with student dancers. From the earliest years of the twentieth century until the early 1960s, the dance hall was the popular forerunner of the discothèque or nightclub. The majority of towns and cities in the West had at least one dance hall, and almost always featured live musicians playing a range of music from strict tempo ballroom dance music to big band, swing and jazz.

Dance Studios, Schools and Hall owners and operators have years of experience running a business and have personal experience in the professional dancing industry.
