OUR
​INSTRUCTORS

At Joanne's Dance Extension; we stick to our traditional teaching methods. We are known for our age appropriate music, costuming, and choreography. We also make sure to have family-based activities for our dancers. We can be "hip, chic, and trendy" if needed, but we won't compromise giving our students what they need to be learning for their age and length of study. With a philosophy that respects the individuality of each student, your children will flourish.

We are passionate about providing instruction that is rooted in kinesiology, taking care to ensure the safety of our dancers' bodies long-term. We will never push a student to perform risky tricks or movements that could cause damage to their joints or muscles, and strive to provide instruction that improves each dancers' strength and flexibility while prioritizing safe dance movement habits.

OUR
MISSION

Joanne's Dance Extension's Artistic Director, Joanne Zavisa, has been
involved in dance education from the very beginning of the craft's arrival
to our area. As a founding member of Masters of Dance Arts,  Joanne
found inspiration. Passionate about creating moving works of art, self-
expression, and proper training— Joanne's ​love for the art of dance
flourished into a love for teaching it. Joanne created magic with Masters
of Dance Arts from 1975 until 1984, when she split off to create something
more. Joanne was inspired to create a legacy; but she didn't know exactly
how large of a footprint she would leave on dance education until years later.  ​

In 1984, Joanne established a dance studio like no other: Joanne's Dance Extension.
Rooted in training lasting dance technique, compassion, confidence, time-management,
dedication, and artistic expression; Joanne's Dance Extension built a strong foundation for our local dancers
to grow from. This foundation has led many of Joanne's students to perform professionally not only across the country— but across the globe. Other students of Joanne have gone on to become dance educators themselves— some of which even opening their own dance education facilities! Every single studio in the local area has a connection with Joanne and her passion for dance education. Talk about a legacy!
