South Dance Studio offers children through adults quality dance
education in numerous areas of dance. Bringing a New York flavor to the
Gulf Coast has long been a dream of studio owner/director and faculty
member Michelle Adams-Meeker. Our studios will provide a solid
foundation for the student who wants to pursue a career as a dance
professional as well as those who dance for the love of the art. Our
focus is to ensure a place to nurture the growth of all types of dancers
at all ages. We are rapidly being known as the studio in Mobile to give
individualized attention to our students, allowing the necessary and
proper dance technique to be taught to all ages of dancers. This allows
each one of them to blossom to their fullest potential.

opportunities. We have hosted Sabra Johnson and Tyce Diorio of "So You
Think You Can Dance" and highly sought after teacher/choreographer Sonya
