About Dance Co

Dance Co, formerly The Downie School of Dance, is a premier performing arts education center nestled in Fairfield, Ohio, carrying a rich legacy of excellence dating back to the 1940s. Led by Executive Director/Owner Elizabeth Eckhoff, whose impressive career includes a Broadway appearance in "Will Rogers Follies" and extensive work with Disney theme parks and cruise lines, the studio is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of dancers. Dance Co offers a comprehensive curriculum for students of all ages and experience levels, from toddlers to seniors, designed to build poise, strength, discipline, and foster a passion for movement. Our diverse program provides foundational training in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, alongside energetic Hip Hop classes. As students progress, they can explore the expressive qualities of Lyrical and Modern dance, the dynamic storytelling of Musical Theater, and the classical foundations of Ballet technique. For those drawn to the stage, Musical Theater classes blend singing, dancing, and drama. Advanced training is available across all disciplines, including specialized instruction in Acrobatics to enhance flexibility and strength, and Pre Pointe and Pointe classes for aspiring ballerinas. Dance Co also functions as a competition studio, providing ample performing opportunities. Students are guided by experienced instructors who emphasize proper technique, artistry, and a love for the craft in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. Our program runs from September through May, culminating in an exciting annual recital held at Ross High School. We are committed to honoring tradition while embracing innovation, providing a fun and nurturing atmosphere where students can discover their passion for dance, build positive self-esteem, and develop coordination, memory, independence, and teamwork.
