Our Mission Statement is to provide each and every one of our students with the highest-quality dance instruction, in a manner that caters to each individual's ability, and to do so in a family-like setting and a positive and inspiring learning environment. The Center's Founding Director, Alzine Straub Cuppett, directed and managed the school for over 50 years until her passing in 2012.
Her youngest daughter, Amy Cuppett, has been the Managing Artistic Director since 2002. Growing up in the dance business, Amy feels that the roles she has played both past and present - that of student, parent, teacher, administrator, and director - enable her to manage the Center with a unique sensitivity toward all perspectives.

This place is possibly the very best local dance school I've seen. Teachers at Cuppett's know their stuff so that kids learn safely and beautifully.
Many kids take lessons here from toddler all the way through high school. Some of those high school students dance so well you would be hard pressed to tell them from big-city professional dancers. It's wonderful to see the kids grow and develop over the years. Amazing!
Cuppett's has several studios within the same building and there are lots of classes to choose from. It focuses on a strong ballet foundation, and offers many
