Dance Reflections

** CELEBRATING OUR 14TH SEASON! **

At Dance Reflections we believe the Art of Dance brings many things to each of our special students. Dance helps develop strength, coordination, balance, grace, poise and most important self-confidence and high self-esteem. Our classroom philosophy is based on teaching students how to dance in a positive, enthusiastic, creative and FUN atmosphere! We firmly believe students that have a well rounded, artistic education have "the advantage".

Dance it BIG, Dance it RIGHT, Dance it with STYLE!
WE HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU!
Offering all styles of dance but specializing in PRESCHOOL LEVELS!
NEW FOR FALL...YOGA by YES2YOGA!

We've constructed a first-class studio environment for our students - including 2 studios, both equipped with fully custom-built (not prefabricated) mechanical, suspended, sprung dance floors for maximum comfort, safety and injury prevention. Dance Reflections is a proud member of the Flower Mound Chamber of Commerce and we truly welcome the opportunity to spend quality, productive, and most importantly FUN time with our students!
