Mission Statement

We are a local dance studio in Ripley, family orientated and supportive. The Creative Edge is a locally-owned, family-run dance studio that is part of the Ripley community. We look forward to sharing our love of dance with every student because at The Creative Edge everyone is welcome!

Our mission at The Creative Edge Dance Studio is to teach dance in an inclusive, positive, and nurturing environment.

To foster this positive environment we focus on creating an atmosphere where each dancer can learn to express themselves through movement in a safe and supportive manner. Through age appropriate music, performance opportunities and a focus on movement to foster self-improvement we hope our dancers develop a love for the art of dance.

Our dancers take classes in a group of students placed by approximate age rather than tested skill level. This encourages the dancers to support each other while enjoying their dance friends over many years.

We are a dance studio by trade but we are also much more than simply dance. We are about working together, showing respect for yourself, your peers and your teachers in an environment that supports the individual and recognises each dancer as unique with their own valuable goals, strengths and weaknesses.

The Creative Edge Dance Studio is dedicated to our studio families to ensure you are kept well-informed of the progress of each dancer. We believe open communication and encouragement both at home and within the dance studio will promote a stronger self-worth within each child. 

We are strong believers that “Children Learn What They Live” and strive towards promoting the same commitment to our studio families as we do to our dancers. The success of each dancer is a result of great teamwork between the dance studio and our dance studio families.

The Creative Edge Dance Studio Values our local community and we support many fundraising efforts sponsored throughout our own locality & the wider community. It is through community service that we can teach (and learn) the value of kindness, respect and positivity.
