ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
At Drake Dance Academy, our mission is to create a safe and positive environment for all dancers that enter our space. We offer the opportunity for students to develop skills, create a healthy body and improve their self confidence, all while discovering their love for dance.
ABOUT DDA
DDA serves the recreational dancer in search of a creative outlet, as well as the more serious dancer that may want to pursue a career within the performing arts. With this in mind, we offer a wide variety of recreational classes for students to choose from and train in. Additionally, we house a Company Program for students looking to further their training dance competitively. To learn more about the recreation classes we offer, click here.

Morgan started sharing her passion for dance leaping onto the stage at the age of four. Nobody knew then that little firecracker would turn her passion into her dream. At the early age of fourteen Morgan started teaching others and realized this is what she was meant to do. Dance has always been where Morgan feels safe to express herself and that was going to be the foundation of her studio.
“I want to build DDA to be something more than just a dance studio. Growing up, I had some tough times both personally and socially, and my studio was my safe place, my second home. I want to recreate that same feeling for others. I want to create a place for kids where they can escape and feel comfortable to learn, make mistakes, grow, and explore without judgement. I want to provide the foundations of dance—so that if they want to grow up to be a dancer, they will have the tools they need—but even if they don’t, they will still look back on their time at DDA with happiness in their heart.”
