Atlantic Dance has taught dance on the Outer Banks of North Carolina since 1995, operating from the Dare Center in Kill Devil Hills. The studio offers a balanced program intended to serve both recreational students and those pursuing dance seriously, beginning with preschool and elementary-age children and continuing through the teenage years. Weekly classes run from September through May, with a recital performance staged in early June and a competition team for dancers who want to compete. Classes are offered in Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop and Lyrical with a primary concentration in Classical Ballet, and studio policy requires every student to take a weekly ballet class as the foundation of all other forms.
