Once upon a time…

… a young girl named Gretchen Greene took her big dreams to the Big Apple and became a Radio City Music Hall Rockette. When she returned home to Savannah, she decided to share her love of dance with as many students as she could. 40 Years and a thousand students later, the Gretchen Greene School of Dance is alive and kicking. She is now joined by her two (grown) children, Trina and Travis.

All of our teachers are either certified to teach by Dance Masters of America or hold a college degree in the Arts. And they have lots of experience. And they’re nice. And they smell good, too. We’re very proud of them, can you tell?
