Are you looking for a performing arts enrichment program for your school or community center? Dance Quest International is pleased to partner with local childcare centers, preschools, and schools (big and small) to provide dance education.
Since 1995, we've been on a QUEST to provide dance education as an enrichment program to schools, and community centers across Florida. Our mission is to provide excellent dance foundations while encouraging our dancers to develop their personalities, self-confidence, stage presence and improve their social and spiritual growth. Our founder, MaryBeth Maynard has put her mission forth to encourage creativity and help students across Florida learn the fundamentals of dance education.
We understand that school directors already have a lot on their plate, which is why we work with you to ensure that our dance program is effective and hassle-free. Our program is designed to fit into your schedule and is tailored to ensure a positive experience for your location, families, and children. We don't require a full-size classroom or any special flooring, just an open space with limited distractions. With Dance Quest International, you can be assured that providing dance classes at your school will be less of a headache and a positive experience for everyone involved.
Together we will collaborate to confirm season timeframes, recital participation, special themes, and any special legalities (like insurance affidavits or special contracts), to finalize your center's place in our schedule. We'll work out which day of the week will be best for your facility and answer any questions you may have.
Once confirmed, we'll schedule your Demo Day! A free 45-minute trial/demo day for all interested students at your school/center! We'll provide you with advertisement materials for your school, and open enrollment! On demo day, students will have the opportunity to learn if dance class is right for them and experience how fun dance can be! Students will receive a sticker and a note for their parents to review with information on how to enroll for classes in our online system.
We'll open enrollment for parents on our website prior to the demo day. A trained and qualified member of our staff will lead your enrolled students in their weekly class! Students will have the option to perform in our end-of year performance/recital (depending on geographical area). Weekly, students will learn new dance terms, while adding to their motor skills and social skills.
Parents will register and we'll process and handle all communications, payments, and all dance class related questions with your families! Once families enroll their student in their class, they'll be a part of our email and SMS communication. We'll provide frequent updates in regards to their students' growth in class, along with any updates in our schedule.

"No one likes getting off work, picking your child up from preschool, and then driving across town to take them to an extracurricular activity. That’s why we are absolutely blessed to have Dance Quest come into our preschool to teach our girls to dance. They not only teach dance but Dance Quest International also prays and instills Christian values into the girls. Dance Quest is such an amazing addition to our preschool and highly recommend adding them to your programs for your families to enjoy."
