We Are Doing Dance Differently!
We believe everyone can Be More at Stage Door, which is why we are constantly rethinking systemic and industry standards, some of which are outdated, toxic, and counterintuitive to cultivating a culture of belonging.
By standing strong in our positioning that dance is an art form for all, we are listening and learning about how we can best achieve our mission.
Why Stage Door?
Stage Door Dance Productions is reinventing the dance education model right here in Raleigh, NC as a locally owned and operated small business. Using a whole child approach, we believe that dance and the performing arts have the power to bring everyone joy through a sense of belonging. With age-appropriate instruction and choreography, the studio uses technique, performance, community, and character to encourage dancers to "Be More At Stage Door!"
-
to execute classical and contemporary performing arts technique
-
to create, share, and perform with others
-
to connect with those around us in a positive, uplifting way
-
to use lessons from the studios to improve our path in life, personally and professionally
