History

Miller Street Dance Academy was established by Michelle Rogers in 1994 with 21 students under the name Enchanting Dancers. Originally located in Pineville, NC on a little street named Miller Street, Michelle soon found her dance school outgrew both the space and the name. In 1998 she relocated to the Tower Place shopping center- but she took a piece of her history with her in renaming the studio Miller Street Dance Academy.

By 2003 Miller Street was again in search of a new home and found the perfect fit at the corner of Providence Road and Ardrey Kell in the heart of the new South Charlotte. The studio’s enrollment grew as other families moved further south and learned of the stellar reputation and high achievements that Miller Street dancers were accomplishing both in and out of the studio.

In 2009 Miller Street had been training area dancers for 15 years and Michelle saw the legacy of her work pay off. Several of her dancers were now graduates and ready to step into teaching positions of their own. In response to this and the population growth just across the border in South Carolina Miller Street once again expanded and a second location was born at Baxter Village in Fort Mill.

With a second location under her belt and with climbing enrollment at the Charlotte location it was time for the Providence studio to gain more space. Initially outfitted with 3 studios, the 2010 update included the addition of 2 more studios at the corner of the same shopping center. Not to be outdone, the following year Baxter Village also expanded from their original 3 to 4 studios.

In the 18 years that Miller Street has been in business, enrollment has grown to 1,800 students, 2 studios with multiple dance rooms, and a dance boutique. Michelle is always ready for the next step the studio will take and is honored to serve the Charlotte and Fort Mill regions with quality dance instruction.

Mission

Miller Street Dance Academy was founded in 1994 with the aim of providing quality, tasteful dance instruction in a positive environment. Our goal is to cultivate young dancers into well-rounded individuals who have not only an appreciation for dance but who reach for high achievement in academics and community service, as well. To achieve this goal we seek to “teach” our children in three ways.

1. To provide proven, quality, syllabus based dance instruction where every child is challenged.
2. To encourage academic achievement by rewarding all dancers who earn all A’s or 3’s on their report card with an Honorable Dancer award.
3. To provide an avenue for participation in local, national, and worldwide service projects through our Service Society.
