About Us!
The Rachel Park Dance Center's philosophy is to recognize,
encourage and develop every student, instilling a positive
self-image, a sense of discipline and an appreciation of dance
as an art form.
 The
Rachel Park Dance Center was established in 1993 with the goal
of bringing professional dance instruction to children and
adults in Middleboro and the surrounding towns. The original
Dance Center, located in one of downtown Middleborough's
historic buildings, consisted of one large dance studio, small
waiting area and dressing room. Over the years as the student
enrollment grew, the studio facilities expanded as well. The
Rachel Park Dance Center presently consists of
two large, air-conditioned dance
studios with wood flooring and viewing windows, dressing room,
large air-conditioned waiting area and staff offices.
The Rachel Park Dance
Center provides all students with experienced instructors. All are adults with prior teaching experience, degrees
in dance or dance education. We feel strongly that an
experienced and qualified faculty is the key to a positive dance
experience. The Rachel Park Dance Center is the
home of the Middleborough Youth Ballet which performs an annual
full-length Nutcracker and the Rachel Park Dance Company, a
group of talented and highly committed students, who perform
locally and attend numerous dance competitions each year. They
have brought home many silver, gold, platinum and special
awards.
In addition to our
regular classes we offer our students the chance to study with
guest teachers each year. Past guest teachers have included
David Petro from the Boston tour of "Cats," Thomas Fillebrown
and Delilah Smyth of the Louisville Ballet, Marissa Salemi, Miss
Dance America 1999 and Joey Zarzecki, popular adjudicator and
teacher for national competitions and conventions.
