About us:
Own IT! Dance Productions is a youth-focused dance program centered on performance, leadership, and teamwork development. Participants build strong foundations in dance technique across multiple styles, including tap, contemporary, and hip-hop, while also developing confidence, discipline, and collaboration.
Beyond technique, the program emphasizes personal growth through regular check-in sessions and group activities that encourage participants to listen, support one another, share ideas, and work through challenges together. This creates a positive, inclusive environment where dancers grow both artistically and personally.
Classes at Own IT! Dance Productions are fun, creative, and collaborative, designed to empower dancers, strengthen community, and nurture leadership skills. It’s more than dance.
5 Reasons
Dance Builds MORE than Just Skills
#1 Confidence Booster
Mastering a new skill takes courage and performing it takes confidence! At Own IT! Dance Productions, we help dancers break past their comfort zones, embrace the stage, and own their unique power - on and off the dance floor.
#2 Creativity & Expression
Dance isn’t just about learning moves. It’s about making them your own! We teach dancers not only to follow choreography but also to create it, giving them the tools to express their emotions, tell stories, and move with purpose.
#3 Teamwork
Great dancers don’t just move together - they connect. Learning choreography alongside classmates teaches patience, adaptability, and trust. Every count, every step, every movement is an opportunity to grow stronger together.
#4 Resilience & Growth
In dance, mistakes aren’t failures - they’re part of the journey. Whether it’s nailing a tough routine or learning from missteps, dance teaches perseverance, resilience, and the power of showing up, no matter what.
#5 Joy & Connection
Dance is belonging. At Own IT!, every class is a chance to celebrate wins, make lifelong friendships, and experience the pure joy of movement in a space where you can truly be yourself.
