Havilah Dance Company is an innovative dance studio in Matthews, North Carolina that serves the Charlotte metro area. HDC offers much more than dance education to our young stars. Our award winning teachers and choreographers will welcome your child into a creative environment, where learning advanced technique is as important as building positive relationships.
We've been at this studio since it opened. Since then, we've seen this studio grow into a loving atmosphere where not only does my child learn about dance, but she's also learns about supporting and encouraging her teammates and reaching goals that she didn't think she could achieve.

It is a word that inspired us long before we opened our doors, and we are humbled and honored to be able to share that story with our students and community. Years ago on a mission trip to Africa, one of our founders, Brooke Hardiman, took part in an internship at an orphanage in Kenya. The children had very minimal material possessions and many had gone through great hardships, even in their young age.

I attended a National dance competition in South Carolina flew down there from Michigan With our dance studio. And was lucky to witness one of the best dances I’ve ever seen which was done by this studio. Not sure what the dance was called but I know the song the title was “you’re going to be OK”. By Jenn Johnson. ( Kudos to the musician as well I love that song)If you search youtube you’ll see the routine, the actual filming of the routine was fantastic as well. The costumes the choreography everything was fantastic and professional.Thanks for putting it out there I still watch it today

This studio is filled with great dancers but the teachers favorite kids and it is terrible. My child was always put in the back and she would come home crying every day. Another reason why I don’t recommend this studio is the training they give the girls. So much and it doesn’t pay off I don’t think the teachers try they just pick there favorite kids and work well with them and it breaks my heart. There are so many other studios around the Charlotte community that will treat the kids better and the hard training will pay off. I very much do not recommend this studio.

We’ve been at this studio since it opened. Since then, we’ve seen this studio grow into a loving atmosphere where not only does my child learn about dance, but she’s also learns about supporting and encouraging her teammates and reaching goals that she didn’t think she could achieve. I would say my favorite thing about this place is that the two owners take the time to have a Bible study at least once a month at their own homes. They have been very positive role models and mentors to all of the kids there. In the past, any time we have had any issues or concerns we were able to reach them

This is my second year at Havilah I feel so loved by my teachers and dancers! It really does feel like family here. It’s such a positive environment and when I walk in it just makes me so happy that I have an amazing opportunity to dance at a place like this. The teachers really focus on each dancer individually, which is great because they give you amazing feedback and things to work on at the studio or at home.

We had 5 dance lessons with Michele to prepare for our first dance for our wedding. Michele was great! We had a lot of fun at the lessons. She was encouraging and patient with us - even when it was clear we hadn't practiced (practice is key!). She was flexible with scheduling and a great instructor. I fully recommend her!

We love Havilah. We changed studios 3 years ago and we have never looked back. Our daughter has grown so much as a dancer, has made amazing friends and feels so at home. Hard work is encouraged and rewarded. The owners not only care about my daughter as a dancer but they value her as a person. We love our dance family and are so glad we made the switch from a much larger studio.

I’m a dance Dad who’s not entirely involved in everything that goes on at Havilah, but the two things I have to mention, are that both Brook and Brittany and other staff there truly treasure each of their dancers and try include all of them in important parts of their routines. Everyone is special and important there. And then secondly our girls absolutely love it there. I don’t really know what can be more important than those two things. I see big things in store for Havilah in the future for their faithfulness and love.

This is the second year that my daughter has danced at HDC. In the past two years, her skills and confidence have grown tremendously. We have been to two other studios in this area and my daughter was at a point where she dreaded going to dance. Once she started at Havilah, they truly embraced her and believed in her. Her perspective on dance completely changed. She looks forward to each practice and can’t wait to go back. They encourage each kid to be the best that they can be and invest themselves in each child and the studio. Anytime my daughter has needed a private lesson or extra instruction

Janet P- This is our first year at Havilah Dance Company. So far, I have had a positive experience. Havilah works very hard to customize an individualized training program for your competition dancer. I am very pleased to see my daughters' talents recognized and utilized. I am also very pleased to see her weaknesses recognized and a training program catered to help her make those corrections. When I was considering making the move last year, I brought my daughter in for a private session with one of the owners, Brittany. I wanted to see if my daughter felt comfortable with the studio and the instructors
