ABOUT

Who We Are

A pillar in the creative community, Straight Up Dance Academy dedicates its resources and efforts to building a positive and engaging environment.  From our unique atmosphere to our state-of-the-art dancing floors, everything was carefully thought out in order to give our dancers the best possible experience.  For us, the most important thing is to ensure students and instructors make connections with each other and themselves as dancers.  We truly believe in creating a family environment between our staff, our students, and their parents!

Straight Up Dance Academy shares a passion for life and positive attitude for creativity.  It’s our goal to encourage personal growth through the disciplines of dance.  Nothing is more fulfilling than self-expression, especially when it promotes self-esteem.

FOUNDER + DIRECTOR

Chansey Eames

“There is no greater joy than teaching our younger generation a talent, self discipline, accountability both to themselves and teammates, motivation, and confidence.  These are attributes that will shape who they become.  It’s amazing to watch the different dancers and see how they grow.  I have never had a more fulfilling experience in my life.”
