                                                                                                   About The Edge
The Edge is proud to feature the finest program in Southwest Florida.  We believe that dance is one of the greatest venues for self-expression and
encourage our dancers to 'find their voice'.  Our classes are taught by accomplished, professional dancers who recognize the importance of joy within the
dancer and work tirelessly to bring that joy to life.  Diversity and individuality are not only recognized, but encouraged here.  Everyone has their own style.
At The Edge, that style is developed and utilized to form self-esteem, and technique is taught and interwoven.  It is by using this concept that The Edge has
been recognized nationally for its accomplishments in Hip Hop.  We now bring that same level of drive and dedication to the classical world.  We have
sought the top professionals in each area of dance and brought them on board to form our staff (we encourage you to check our website for our instructor
bios).   These professionals share our philosophy and desire to continue the tradition of excellence that The Edge has become known for.  Get in on
THE CUTTING EDGE!!
