Our History
Fairies float at Mixturez Dance Studio. Warriors battle. Gazelles leap. Skeptical?
You and your children can experience first-hand what study after study has
shown: creative dance flows through the body and transforms the mind. In this
safe haven kids dance like no one is watching. Then they hone their skills so
they can fly!
First
Position Dance Arts Center was the beginning of this great style of
dance education in the Philadelphia Area. It was then extended seven
years ago to Morgantown, Pa through Mixturez Dance Studio. The
programs that these two studios have offered has changed the lives of
countless students. Shy tweens have found confidence leaping with the
liquid grace of gazelles in front of audiences of 10,000+ at the
Wachovia Center. Finding within them the force and finesse of martial
artists, preteen and teen boys and girls have gathered to outwit and
out-dance each other using hip-hop endurance, rhythm and humor. Small
children have found lasting friendships while running and jumping
together in make-believe ponds, giant woods and mysterious castles.
Solid benefits from dancing at First Position and Mixturez flow out into the students
everyday lives. Performing in front of audiences gives a person the guts to give
a speech. Students become agile and flexible as they learn the newest street
moves; this increased strength not only helps prevent injuries but also gives
the team sport player an athletic edge. The original thoughts and independence
that come from creative dance class help little ones try other new
things-maybe even veggies.
For students who want to perform, Mixturez offers ample opportunities
to shine. Their in-house dance team has entertained huge audiences with
their dazzling talent and style at venues like the Mann Music Center, 76ers
Halftime, Philadelphia Aids Walk, Hershey Park, Philadelphia Fringe Festival,
Globe Trotters Halftime and the Autism Walk at the Philadelphia Zoo.
The
professional staff of educated and warm adults teaches small
individualized dance classes on cutting-edge sprung floors. Some of the
amazing dance educators teaching at Mixturez include: Kelly Grill teaching Ballet/Tap/Jazz and Creative Dance. Susan Findley of Temple University teaching
ballet.
