ABOUT
Who We Are
Straight Up Dance Academy is a proud pillar in the creative community, dedicated to cultivating a positive, engaging, and inspiring environment for dancers of all ages. From our welcoming atmosphere to our state-of-the-art dance floors, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to provide the best possible experience for our students.
At SUDA, our top priority is fostering meaningful connections—between dancers and instructors, among peers, and within each dancer’s personal journey. We believe in creating a strong family-like culture that includes our staff, students, and their families.
Fueled by a passion for life and creativity, we strive to encourage personal growth through the discipline and joy of dance. We believe that self-expression is one of life’s most fulfilling experiences—one that builds confidence, promotes self-worth, and creates lifelong memories.
FOUNDER + DIRECTOR
Chansey Eames
“There is no greater joy than teaching the younger generation—not just a talent, but self-discipline, accountability to themselves and their teammates, motivation, and confidence. These are the qualities that shape who they become. Watching each dancer grow and evolve is truly inspiring. I’ve never experienced anything more fulfilling in my life.”
