The History of the Studio
SSDC is a small, non-profit studio started by Colleen Schmidt and Nancy Nehr in 1997. The partners started the
studio to meet the needs of many young dancers who participated in school and community activities and a studio that had an
open enrollment policy.
The studio originally had a Modern Dance focus, but has since evolved into a studio that has strong programs in Modern,
Hip Hop and Ballet. We have also added Jazz, Yoga, Belly dancing, Acting, Latin, Ballroom and Jujitsu to the classes
offered at the studio.
Some classes are through private contractors and other instructors are part of the SSDC staff.
Our Philosophy
We believe that everyone can dance and can make dance whatever they want it to be. Some of our dancers take classes
for recreation, some for professional training, some for fun and some to develop skills that will serve them in other sports
and activities.
Some people dance to relieve everyday stresses, get ready for weddings or to be part of performances in the community.
We want dance to be a fun, nurturing experience for our youngest dancers. Body awareness, movement to music, fun, social
skills and fitness are also part of the package.
But, this is YOUR studio, so if we may help make your experience at SSDC a better one, please feel free to call us, e-mail
us, or stop by and see what we have to offer.
