 A Note From Our founders

We are thrilled to welcome you to The 360 Dance Experience. At The 360, we are excited to watch young artists grow through the art and discipline of dance. Our goal is to provide a community that allows artists to feel safe to try new things, learn from success and failure, and encourage each other as they grow. The 360 offers state-of-the-art dance training, lifestyle education, performance opportunity, and feedback unmatched by any other event on the market. The new ‘360 Classes’ will focus on producing a confident, healthy, kind, and well-equipped individual who will be able to take lessons learned through dance into any walk of life. We believe that there is so much more to dance than a trophy and we stand by our pillars of education focusing our classes on the body, mind, and business of dance. This is a dynamic and holistic educational experience that will provide every dancer with the tools to help them live a more creative and nourished life. At The 360 Dance Experience, you will experience dance from every angle.

 STORY OF THE OWNERS

Melissa & Jessica

Melissa and Jessica have been as close as a family for over 20 years! They met when Jessica was teaching Melissa’s daughter’s baby ballet classes in Pittsburgh. They became close friends through dance and Jessica would babysit the girls every Friday night. When Jessica graduated high school and moved away from home, she stayed close to Melissa and her girls knowing they were always a phone call away. When Melissa called Jessica in the summer of 2021 saying she wanted to start a dance competition that promoted kindness and education above all else, Jessica jumped on board without hesitation. Their friendship and love can be felt all over The 360 Dance Experience.
