A Legacy of Artistry. A Future of Expression.
Established in 1987, The Dance Arts Studio has served the Syracuse community for over 38 years as a sanctuary for students who want to learn the art of dance without the pressure of the competition circuit.
From the beginning, our philosophy has been simple but profound. "Dance to Express, Not Impress."
We believe arts education should be more than just trophies and scores. It should be about healthy technique, individual growth, and the confidence that comes from mastering a discipline. Whether a student is three years old or eighty-three, our goal is to provide a professional, nurturing environment where they feel safe to explore their potential.
Today, we are writing the next chapter of our story. While we remain rooted in our classical dance foundations by offering Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Modern; we are proud to expand our curriculum to become a true Center for Performing Arts.
With the addition of our specialized Vocal Conservatory, including Private Voice Lessons, we are now training the complete artist. We are a boutique studio where every name is known, every goal is supported, and every student is given the spotlight they deserve.
Founding Director & Director of Dance
The driving force behind The Dance Arts Studio, Linda established the academy with a vision for technical precision and artistic integrity. Her teaching philosophy is rooted in the "old school" tradition of respect, discipline, and poise. For almost forty years, she has not only taught dance but has mentored young women and men to become leaders in their communities.
Artistic Director & Director of Vocal Studies
Bridging the gap between artistic passion and professional discipline, Andrea brings a conservatory-level vocal curriculum to the studio. A classically trained soprano and graduate of the Crane School of Music, she specializes in vocal health and anatomy. Andrea is dedicated to modernizing the studio’s offerings while preserving the rigorous standards that have defined the Facciponte legacy.
