About Me

Magnolia Academy of Dance 104 Evesham Rd Magnolia, NJ 856-784-0661 Ages 2-adult Now enrolling until 12/22/08



Our commitment to reaching new physical and artistic goals has brought us to create the Magnolia Dance Company. Laurie is the owner of the Magnolia Academy of Dance in NJ. She has been dancing since childhood, and studied at the Greater Hartford Academy of Performing Arts and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Her vision to create a place for children through adults to study and appreciate the beauty and discipline of dance was realized in 2004 when she opened the studio. Now over seventy students are in attendance.
