Right this way

We purpose to bring passionate joy through music, movement, technical excellence, friendships, and overall studio atmosphere.

 It is our intention to show every student they are called and loved by God. We want to Ignite a fire inside their hearts a passion for dance and point them towards loving others, honoring God, and being the best they can be!

We strive to bring quality programs and innovative classes to our area. Our instructors grew up in our dance studio and enjoy teaching the next generation of dancers.

We understand the value dance holds in a child’s life and upbringing.

 Our studio is founded on guiding and growing dancers in a studio based off Christian values, and follow a studio culture based off of Galatians 5:22-23 Fruits of the Spirit: Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. We lead by example and encourage our students to follow pursuit.  

Ignite Dance Arts has been living out our dance mission in Carroll County for the last 8 years

Dance is our heart 

Ignite Dance Arts was formerly Elite Dance Studio and owned by the Mock family and ran in Berryville for 18 years before director Melanie Pierce took it over in 2017.

 Over the years our studio found its new identity and transformed adding Acrobatic Arts, Twinkle Star Dance & Aerial Arts programs. Ignite was born out of a burning in our directors heart to give new life and re-birth to our studio to Ignite passion in our dancers not only for dance but to come into relationship with God.

 It is our hopes to raise the new generation of dancers while following good morals and values and promoting a healthy and creative environment in our studio. We are a modest studio and pride ourselves on costume & music choices that reflect our values and honor God.

"We LOVE Ignite! The instructors are all so personable and attentive to the students. Even in a larger class they ensure each child is provided with any needed individualized attention. I really commend them on their emphasis on strengthening, body safety, and ergonomics. Not only will my kids be better dancers for it, they will have a strong body that allows them a lifetime or dance without damage and negligent wear and tear."
