21 years ago, owner and artistic director Debby Delpopolo envisioned a safe, nurturing, home away from home where dancers would learn to love dance. After teaching at ten studios in the tri state area, she created a teaching style for her school that encourages high self-esteem in dancers.

She performed in charity shows, competitions and exhibitions starting at three years of age. She studied Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater, Pointe, HipHop and Modern Dance. She was the youngest in her studio to performa solo at five years of age where she sang and danced. Later, she performed withMercer Dance Ensemble based in Mercer County Community College, while earning her Associates Degree in Psychology and Child Development. She also studied Abnormal Psychology and the Psychology of Women.

Miss Debby danced professionally at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ and was Dance Captain. She studied dance at theUniversity of the Arts in Philadelphia, Broadway Dance Center in NYC, and StepsOn Broadway inNYC.

At UArts she was privileged to have studied Tap with Lavaughn Robbinson, one of the originators of Tap dance, and Jazz with Roni Koresh director of Koresh Dance Company in Philadelphia, PA. She also studied Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Brazilian Dance and Graham Technique. At Broadway Dance Center she studied Hip-Hop, and Jazz with Frank Hatchet.
