More About Hazel's Dance Academy
Our History
​
Two sisters born in Houston and raised in New Orleans with a passion for Dance and Children. As preschool teachers for almost two decades and currently working in the school system, we are no strangers to the needs of children.
​
The Arts have always had a special place in our hearts!
We use dance as an outlet to express ourselves and show off our creativity.
Our goal is to give each child this opportunity and have a ball doing it!
​
We specialize in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, and Pointe but include Modern, Hip-Hop, Creative Movement, Contemporary, and some Ballroom in our curriculum to expose our students to the diversity available to them.
​
With 30+ years of dancing and 20+ years of teaching experience, our mission is to challenge and encourage your child(ren) to explore their own uniqueness and unlock the Art of Dance!
