SCVDA provides many goods and services to the River Falls community. They provide dance lessons such as tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, and teach the students to have confidence, self-esteem and teamwork. My favorite things about SCVDA are the kindness and the dancing.
Stephanie Larson works at SCVDA. Stephanie’s responsibilities are to teach dance steps and routines. Also she has to pick out costumes and be a role model! The materials she uses are creativity, music, and knowledge of many dance styles.
People in our community depend on each other. Stephanie says that River Falls depends on SCVDA to have good teachers, be responsible, and to provide a fun and healthy exercise.
Stephanie lives and works in River Falls because her family is here, she loves the kids and their families, and she believes in the values of people at the dance studio. She would like to see any person who wants to dance to come and learn. Stephanie also wants more people to find out about their studio. What Stephanie likes best about our community are the people, especially the kids.
