Dance from the Heart  is an artistic outlet where our dancers grow in both technique and creativity.  We are a process orientated school with our work centering around creating and learning rather than simply the end results.    The program is designed to help students develop a love of dance that can be shared with others and thus help the dancers in turn, develop and understanding of the world around them.  We firmly believe in a non-competitive atmosphere as we feel dance to be a creative expression rather than a competitive experience. Dance from the Heart  strives to give each individual the best in dance education. From creative-ballet and dance, tap, hip-hop, our popular child and caregiver program to adult ballet, Dance from the Heart has a class for any age group.  We pride ourselves in bringing a high quality dance program to the Mid-Hudson Valley!

The lead teacher and owner, Kerry Bevens, is a certified early childhood educator in New York State and holds a Masters Degree as well.  Miss Kerry also has her Associates Degree in Dance from the prostigious Dean College in Massachusetts.  She is an also an active member of the National Dance Educator's Orgaization.
