Our Mission:
​
Is to encourage students to achieve their fullest potential, to support them as they grow artistically and academically, and to assist the growth of well-rounded individuals.
Dancers will be pushed beyond their limits, beyond their comfort zones, and beyond the normal recreational and competitive dance world you know.
Our goals are to ignite the passion for dance, empower our youth, support their evolution through life,
and encourage them to inspire the generations behind them.

Our Story:
​
Walking into their first ballet classes at three years old, Alex Miner and Sara Koontz fell in love with dance. From the glitter to the music, and the connection to teachers and looking up to older dancers, their love of dance quickly turned to a lifelong passion. Both owners have spent years training the next generation of dancers—through countless hours in and out of the classroom, volunteering their time for extra rehearsals and competition weekends, and becoming role models for all of the students they work with.
The mission of Beyond Dance Project is spelled out in the name—going “beyond dance.”BDP wishes to encourage their students to achieve their fullest potential, to support them as they grow artistically and academically, and to assist the growth of well-rounded individuals. The passion behind Alex’s and Sara’s drive for Beyond Dance Project is to instill confidence in their students, push them past where they thought possible, and provide a space of encouragement and love for all children.
​
Our lifelong dreams are coming true, and we couldn't be more thankful for this new life adventure! We are ready now, more than ever, to dig deep and give our whole selves to teaching, inspiring, and loving this community.
