Broadway 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 studio 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.
