Our Mission

 

the mission of ROCKWELL DANCE CENTER

is to provide each student with a creative and inspiring dance education. We feel it is imperative that every dancer be given a strong technical foundation by utilizing proper terminology, training, and anatomical understanding.  RDC encourages artistry in a supportive and nurturing environment, and we believe in recognizing and appreciating the individual strengths of each dancer.  Our goal is to offer varied performance opportunities while giving back and sharing with our community.

Our Space

Our studio located in Trumbull, Connecticut, has 12,150 square feet of space and is comprised of 6 dance studios (all with sprung flooring and professional audio systems), a black box theater, lobby and homework areas, company locker room, and a costume shop – all in one convenient location with easy access to I-95, the 25 Connector, Merritt Parkway, Route 8 – a quick and easy commute from almost anywhere in Fairfield and New Haven counties. We are just minutes from the Trumbull Mall, and located just across the street from Planet Fitness, Trumbull Racquet Club, and Next Dimension Gymnastics.

Our Doors Are Open

We invite you to stop by any time for a tour of our facility or a free trial class.

Costume Shop

Our Costume Shop is a professional 1,000 square feet of beautiful, organized space.  RDC continually reinvests to increase our inventory of costumes from hip hop to jazz and modern to classical ballet. The generosity of our students adds greatly to the scope of costumes that fill our shop.

These costumes are used by our dance companies and for our Winter Ballet to lessen the costs for the dancers and their families.  

RDC’s Dance Shoe Exchange

The Dance Shoe Exchange is for the recycling of gently used dance shoes to all RDC students to help us all ecologically and economically. Students and Parents are encouraged to donate their dance shoes (in good shape) to RDC’s Costume Shop. It is our goal to make a dance education more affordable to all our students.
