About

Dance is a creative expression, It’s a way of life. Here at Boombox our goal is to bring out the best in your child. We want to provide the best atmosphere and safe space away from home. A place with no bullying and free of judgements. We want the best for your child, so we provide the best trained faculty. Boombox has been open since 2010 and we continue to grow and thrive. We want your child to be a part of this lifelong family even after their graduation. We look forward to seeing the positive influence that dance brings to your child’s life. This is where dreams begin, and true talent arises.
