CORE VALUES
In order to achieve our mission, May I Have This Dance™ has made a firm commitment to embody these core values in everything we do. They are:

Welcoming Environment
We strive to create an environment whereby all our students and patrons can feel a connection to the music, their partners, new friends, the community, and to the fulfilling and exciting world of social dancing. Each individual will have the best experience when learning, dancing, and socializing in a safe and welcoming environment. We foster this by hiring friendly, diverse, and patient staff members who are positive role models for all. Our students and patrons are encouraged to be patient with themselves and others, as well as tolerant of people’s different experiences, backgrounds, skill levels, and abilities. Because of our inclusive nature, unique team spirit, and emphasis on fun and social purpose of dance, we are accessible to everyone-- from the complete beginner to the very advanced.

Quality Learning
May I Have This Dance™ puts an extremely high value on the quality of instruction. Learning is dependent on many factors, including excellent content, methodology, and delivery. By being active in the local, national, and international dance communities, we stay current with the latest trends, styles and the industry’s best practices. Our teaching methodology is based on proven educational principles which accommodate multiple learning preferences. We deliver this instruction in several flexible forms, all with the students’ success and satisfaction in mind.

Our professionally-trained instructors have unique strengths and diverse personalities, yet they all share a dedication to the same high standards and practices. The May I Have This Dance™ staff members set an excellent example for students with their commitment to perpetual improvement, growth opportunities, and openness to change.

Genuine Passion
May I Have This Dance™ is very passionate about what we do, the product we deliver, and the positive way we touch each other’s lives. This genuine passion drives the success and growth of our community. Integrity is another key quality we look for in our staff members. Our management style builds on this passion and integrity to foster open, direct, and caring communication practices among our staff and students. We encourage our students to stay active by keeping our prices very clear and reasonable, as well as allowing them maximum flexibility in their level of involvement.

May I Have This Dance™ believes that we provide an experience where people can learn more than just dance steps; but life skills that can translate beyond the dance floor.
