philosophy
Woodland Fine Arts Academy seeks to provide dancers a nurturing environment while offering instruction in various styles of dance techniques. Each staff member is highly qualified to work with all ages of students. As always, selected music and costumes are age appropriate and modest. We seek to honor God in all that we say and do.
