On one of the lobby walls, one of the first things visitors to our dance studio see is this culture & values poster. We believe in the power of dance education to be a positive activity in the lives of kids and adults – and are dedicated to bringing this positive influence to as many students in our area as we can.

We are a proud More Than Just Great Dancing studio – affiliated with the nation’s best dance studios and adhering to a higher standard in quality curriculum, business management practices, and community involvement.

The Pointe is also Iowa’s first and only YPAD Certified Dance Studio – ensuring that dancers who take classes at The Pointe are in a safe, healthy, and positive environment.
YPAD is a nonprofit organization (check them out – Miss Vanessa serves on their Advisory Panel – www.ypad4change.org) that works to keep dance safe, healthy, and happy for youth in dance. Dance is an unregulated industry – with no legal requirements for background checks, education, or certification for instructors. At The Pointe, ALL of our staff who work with kids are CPR certified, background checked, and YPAD certified!
