Savannah Dance Co.

Savannah Dance Co. was founded in 2020 and has grown into a second home for dancers of every skill level across Chatham County and surrounding areas. The studio was created to offer exceptional dance instruction for students as well as comprehensive training for aspiring professional dancers.

The studio operates from two locations: the main facility at 423 B US-80 in Pooler, and a company annex at 301 US-80 E. The faculty focuses on three core concentrations: technique, performance, and artistry. Classes span multiple styles including tap, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, ballet, hip hop, acro, and combo. Students train competitively and have earned top honours at regional and national competitions throughout the Southeast.
