About Swansboro Dance Studio

Swansboro Dance Studio, located in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, has been fostering a love for dance and self-expression since its founding in 1982 by Christy Crosswell Williams. We offer a diverse range of disciplines for students of all ages, from creative movement and preschool ballet to advanced levels. Our comprehensive curriculum includes foundational techniques in Ballet and Jazz, energetic Hip Hop, expressive Lyrical, and the dynamic styles of Contemporary and Modern. Aspiring performers can also explore Acrobatic classes, focusing on flexibility, balance, and strength, as well as Musical Theater and Barre. Our talented and experienced staff includes owner Heather Baile (BFA in Dance Performance, specializing in jazz), Kailee Felix (former company member with Festival Ballet Providence), Jennifer Young-Golden (classical ballet, competitive wins, professional musical theatre), Charlotte Karcher (ballet, tap, jazz), Amber Rademacher (five years teaching experience), Lidiya Raso (musical theatre, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of the arts alumna), Madison Smith (alumna, choreography and performance studies), and Ms. Colleen White (AcroDance Preschool certified). We believe in nurturing each dancer's 'inner rhythm' through challenging, non-competitive classes that enhance coordination, musicality, and expression, building essential life skills with lifelong benefits. Classes run September through May, with summer dance camps also available.
