Rachel Dart, the Dance Instructor and Director at AerFire spent years unhappy with many of the environments in which she danced and taught as a professional. After the things she witnessed as a teacher over the last 10 years, she wanted a space where kids could not only learn great technique but remember that dance is supposed to be fun and that you can find joy in everything! At AerFire dance is not just a skill; it's a lifelong creative outlet that equips students for success in any path they choose in the future. You'll find a variety of dance classes at Aerfire and be able to pick one that best fits your child's and family's needs. You can find out about the dance classes HERE
