The Story of Impact Dance Studio
Impact Dance Studio has had an incredible journey since its establishment in 1987! Starting with just a few after-school classes at a local community house, the studio has grown into a flourishing dance hub with two locations, offering over 300 classes per week. It’s inspiring how the studio’s founder, Sue Wagoner, nurtured it into a place that helps thousands of students, from toddlers to adults, develop their dance skills.
The studio’s growth took a pivotal turn when Diane Fotino, a long-time student, took ownership in 2000. Diane, who started her dance journey at Impact, realized her dream of owning a studio and expanded her training in London, New York, and Los Angeles. This dedication to continuous learning and growth has likely played a significant role in the studio’s success.
With nationally ranked team dancers and a strong track record of students pursuing careers in dance, Impact Dance Studio is clearly committed to providing top-notch training for all levels. We’re so glad you stopped by and hope the Impact family can become a meaningful part of your dance journey!
