Celebrating over 51 years doing what she loves best, Lynette Strickland, Director, feels Dance Stop Studio's greatest achievement is graduating students that are successful in life as well as in the art of dance.
Since 1974, Dance Stop Studios has been ranked as one of Atlanta’s largest and most successful dance schools. With an emphasis on dance as a rewarding and fulfilling experience, Dance Stop strives to meet the needs of every student interested in the art of dance. Great care and individual attention is given in nurturing the abilities and building the confidence of each student to achieve their fullest potential.
At our 13,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility we offer a complete dance curriculum utilizing proven methods of instruction in creative movement, pre-ballet, tap, ballet, jazz, and hip hop. Classes in a range of proficiencies are offered for the preschool student through the advanced professional.
The studio is home to the Dance Stop Company, a pre-professional, non-profit organization, formed in 1980, which is devoted to an extensive dance and performance experience. The Company received the 2010 Ovation Award for “Outstanding Ensemble” presented by the Cobb Arts Board, Inc.
Every September through December, the Dance Stop Company spends each weekend brightening the lives of Marietta and Cobb residents by performing at assisted living facilities, hospitals, fall festivals, parades, Holiday programs, and numerous city and county civic events.
Recipients of the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Reader’s Choice Award for “Best Dance Studio” given by “AroundAbout East Cobb,” Dance Stop is committed to the community in which it resides. The Studio, Company, and Fitness Program have donated thousands of dollars to children’s charities by hosting dance and fitness fundraising events. They are most proud of hosting “Breathe,” a concert which raised over $10,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
In 2009, Dance Stop Studios expanded its curriculum with the launch of the Dance Stop Fitness Program, a popular and convenient group-fitness alternative to “members only” facilities. The program offers classes in Yoga, Zumba®️, and Zumba Gold®️.
