ABOUT US

L'échappé et L'arrivée

The motto at Premiere Dance Center - L'échappé et L'arrivée - means "escaped and arrived". This studio was created as a destination, as well as a sanctuary, for aspiring dancers from throughout the Puget Sound region. At Premiere Dance Center, students and parents are encouraged to leave everyday problems, issues, and concerns behind them as they pass through our doors. Our goal is to have a completely stress-free environment filled with an atmosphere of respect, encouragement and motivation. In order to do this, we have a very simple "Code of Conduct".

Large Group

CODE OF CONDUCT

  • Treat your fellow dancers, teachers, and parents with respect

  • Encourage fellow dancers - regardless of their skill level and abilities

  • Welcome all new dancers with love and kindness

  • Arrogance

  • Gossip (Verbal or written in any form. i.e. on instagra,, e-mails etc.)

  • Intimidation (Verbal or written)
