Company Description

Hi! I'm Christine Riesenweber, owner of Thrive Dance, professional dance educator, wife, mom, and lover of Harry Potter!

In 2017, I founded Thrive with another dance educator and performer, Shantal Moody, because we were both wanting a place to send our preschoolers that A) didn't stress kids and parents out with crazy demands on time and money and B) had amazing teachers that encouraged creativity and kindness in the classroom.

Unfortunately, we didn't find any studio that fit that description... So we made our own!

Thrive Dance is now in its 4th season and is seeing amazing results with the dancers who have been with us over the last few years.

Our students...
-Know how to work with their bodies and not against them
-Can improvise and choreograph with confidence
-have a foundation of dance technique that serves them in multiple styles
-Are extremely kind!

Our parents...
-Love how much fun their dancer has
-Love the low-stress atmosphere
-Can really see their students improving each year
-Are the opposite of Dance Moms, lol!

Our teachers...
-Are patient and encouraging
-Have dance teaching degrees, certifications, and/or years of experience in their field
-Consider each dancer as a whole person
-Love what they do!

If you have any questions or would like to get to know us more, send us a message and we will get back to you in 24 hours (except Sundays)

Stay sane and have fun! Christine
