Did you know that there is NO REGULATION of the dance studio industry at all? Anybody can own a dance studio - no qualifications or regulations are necessary. As a result, many dance studios are staffed by unqualified faculty and directors.

The National Registry of Dance Educators (NRDE) was founded in 1996 to provide the community with the highest quality programs and training in dance education. Primarily, the goals of the NRDE are 1) to identify professional dance educators by offering rigorous evaluations to determine whether they meet professional ethics, guidelines, and standards of practice; and 2) to recognize those who meet specified criteria as Registered Dance Educators (RDE). Audrey Dascomb RDE, Director and primary educator at Dance Expressions Unlimited, is the ONLY Registered Dance Educator in MA & NH, and one of only 40 in the country. Dascomb earned the title of Registered Dance Educator in 1996 based on superior curricula, teaching methods, style, content, technique, safety, aptitude and ability.

We realize you have a choice between many different dance studios.  All studios are NOT the same -  much like doctors, lawyers, school teachers, and other professionals.  As a parent I always seek out the best professionals for my family based on credentials, experience, values and rapport. I search for the best possible match in every genre because I know that even with professionals, there are some who barely pass and those who excel.
