307 DANCE ACADEMY ALUMNI

Welcome to your own page! We are kicking off the inaugural year of our alumni recognition, campaign, and all around appreciation. Check back here to hear what's going on since you have left. We are always evolving and are working quickly towards our 5-10 year plan of becoming: "307 Performing Arts Academy"! We have already initiated the first phase of adding tumbling. More recently, we have added a theatre program, taking advantage of the fine teachers at Casper College. Lastly, we will add voice to our program. We are looking forward to the completion of this vision. We have also added an Adaptive Dance program which falls beautifully in line with our Mission Statement.

INSPIRED BY THE FIRE ALUMNI

You are considered an "Inspired by the Fire Alumni" if you danced and graduated high school with us.

Remembering the days in the studio are some of your best times and we miss you! Please feel welcome to visit, teach, choreograph, or be a guest teacher. You put in hard work and many hours at our studio most likely, so come visit and see those that followed in the footsteps you helped pave for 307.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW!!!!

PURPOSE

The purpose of 307 Dance Academy is to not only teaching dance but to teach our core values for life skills and self-growth.

VISION

307 Dance Academy believes that many can benefit from the joy of the performing arts. We seek to include all who want that experience regardless of ability, age, or financial status. 307 Dance Academy is dedicated to outreach programs and public service which engage the larger Casper community and deepen its understanding of the appreciation of the performing arts and its health benefits.

MISSION

The mission of the 307 Dance Academy is to provide proper, positive instruction, in of all forms of the performing arts, including ballet, jazz, tap, musical theatre, contemporary, modern, hip-hop, tumbling, and cheer with a highly qualified faculty.

CREED

To love the art of performance and the lessons it brings.

To motivate and “Inspire the Fire” with myself and all others.

To give back through philanthropy, support, and kind words.

To find inner strength, dignity, and grace in myself and all others.

To win and lose gracefully in dance, and in my life.

5-10 YEAR PLAN

Falling into place with our 5 – 10-year goals towards becoming “307 Performance Arts Academy”, we are proud to announce that we have added theatre, tumbling, cheer, and acting to our program. This brand new program will need time to grow, but it most certainly will. Today’s student population is 200!  We have definitely grown. Our last addition will be a voice. It will be an exciting time when our Academy is complete with our goals. We have also added an Adaptive Dance program for which we are thrilled about.

OUTREACH

When the studio formed, having this program was something that NO OTHER studio in Casper has. WE GIVE BACK.  We have donated to Special Olympics, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Jason’s Friends for children in Casper with cancer, Food for Thought by providing peanut butter in their backpack program, and Boys and Girls Club. This is our 8th year with Jason’s Friends and the Boys and Girls Club. We are very proud of our efforts to help out in Casper.

WHAT'S NEW?

New Ballet Barres, Flooring & Outside paneling

After two successful big fundraisers, we were able to purchase brand new dance flooring in studios 1 & 2. They are gorgeous. We have also added new adjustable ballet barres in all three studios.  We also have had new flooring installed for the kitchen and the bathrooms.  Don's Mobile Carpet and Haselden Construction have generously donated time, materials, and labor for this much-needed improvement.

What an improvement to the front of the building!

New Concrete & Outdoor lighting

Finally, we have gotten the concrete outside of the studio torn out and replaced. Yes!  It looks a lot better.
And check out the new lighting on the front of the building, the sides, and in the back.

Addition of Theatre, Adaptive Dance, Tumbling, & Cheer

Working hard towards our long-range goal, we have added these wonderful programs.
