Flat River Dance Company has instructed students in ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, preballet, hip hop, tap, and ballroom since its founding in 1998. Since June 2008, owners Miranda Haywood and Joseph Curry — both of whom came up in the professional world of dance — have brought that sense of professionalism to the school. FRDC's mission is to educate and entertain, innovate and create, and reflect the art of dance across every generation.
