Our experienced instructors are dedicated to providing personalized attention to each student, helping them develop skills that will benefit them in any dream they wish to achieve.

These spectacular shows are an opportunity for our dancers to show off all their hard work and feel like a superstar on stage.

Our History

Dance ETC was established in 1979 by Miss Amy Arnaz, the wife of Desi Arnaz Jr. After pouring her heart and soul into the studio and the small town of Boulder City, Dance ETC became known as the "little pink studio" and a staple in the community. Anna McKay, a professionally performing and choreographing instructor, became an instructor for Dance ETC in 1998. She adored Miss Amy and her students, and the feeling of the "little pink studio", with its magic for the students and their families. Miss Amy retired in 2006, and Miss Anna had the opportunity to purchase the studio that she fell in love with. Miss Anna has continued the studio's traditions while keeping the lessons current and up-to-date in style and education for our ever-changing dance world.

Our Mission

At Dance ETC, our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where dancers of all ages and skill levels can come to learn, grow, and express themselves through the art of dance. We strive to instill in our students a sense of discipline, hard work, and confidence that will benefit them not only in their dance careers but also in their personal lives. Our goal is to help our students develop a lifelong passion for dance and the arts, and to provide them with the skills and opportunities necessary to pursue their dreams.
