Our Mission

At St. Augustine Dance Academy, our goal is to make dance easier.

Every decision we make as a studio centers around making dance education simple for families. From the beginning, owners Tasha and Jason understood the importance of this commitment: they started their entrepreneurial journey with an after school program for parents that work and couldn't drive their kids to dance.

Today, we make it easy for families by offering online registration, sibling rates for everything from tuition to recital, and a boutique right inside each studio. With 3–4 dance rooms at both locations, we allow parents to schedule siblings' classes at the same time. This thoughtful structure came directly from Tasha and Jason’s experience working full-time while raising two daughters in dance - striving to make it affordable, convenient, and manageable without sacrificing too many nights together.

Tasha and Jason created a solution for their family that they knew would work for so many others. Their vision is what continues to guide our studio today.

Committed to benefitting your family

We believe it's important to be fully informed when choosing a studio for your child's dance education, and our team will ensure your questions are answered. Our team is dedicated to ensuring enrollment is a positive, easy experience for all families. We’re proud to offer a welcoming and wholesome experience for every family who walks through our doors.

We see firsthand how the studio can become a second home to so many of our dancers. Through life's trials, challenges, and difficulties, the studio continues to be their "happy place" - a place of empowered self-expression where they can pursue their passion, process life's challenges, and simply feel joy.

Our talented faculty are dedicated & supportive

We have an incredible team of positive employees who are constantly growing alongside the industry to better meet the needs of our dancers. Our studio fosters a growth-oriented and nurturing environment, where both teachers and students are encouraged to keep learning, evolving, and supporting one another.

Our approach is collaborative and fueled by a structured drive for excellence. Each team member has a voice and the chance to build meaningful, lasting relationships with the children we serve. Many of our faculty were once students of Miss Tasha themselves - a testament to the strength of our community and our commitment to long-term development.

Beyond technique, we’re proud to offer leadership opportunities that help shape our dancers into thoughtful citizens who make a positive impact both on and off the stage.

Our studio is connected with the community

We are deeply conditioned to respond to the needs of our community. Every year, our dancers participate in a dance-a-thon to raise money for organizations supporting children’s health and well-being—from childhood cancer research to helping local families in need. To date, we’ve raised over $13,000! Our dancers also perform at local nursing homes and lead or contribute to food, clothing, and stuffed animal drives.

At St. Augustine Dance Academy, we don’t just teach dance - we create a space where children and families grow together through connection, excellence, and heart.
