Welcome

Welcome to Wakulla Dance Academy!

Over the past 15 years, we have been privileged to teach dance to children in Wakulla County. Our goal has always been to learn in a fun and stimulating atmosphere to gain self confidence and to develop an appreciation of the arts. Our friendly staff and knowledgeable teachers make the experience a happy and fulfilling one for both students and parents.

We realize there are many choices available when it comes to enrolling your child in dance classes; but not all studios are the same. We invite you to explore this website, visit our facility, meet our teachers, and compare all the features to see why so many Wakulla county families have chosen Wakulla Dance Academy.
