Our Story

How We Got Started

Nearly four decades ago, Johnna DeGrasse, a professional ballet dancer with a passion for movement and expression, founded a studio with high hopes of sharing her talent with young artists. Starting out in Woodbridge, Virginia and now having made it's way to Haymarket, Johnna's vision has carried on and continues to change the hearts and talents of so many young dancers. Through both classic tradition and new practices, DeGrasse Dance has changed the lives of countless young dancers. 

​

DeGrasse Dance Studio's mission is to provide students of all skill levels with more than just dance classes, but a unique experience in which they may grow both mentally and physically as a dancer as well as a person. Our highly trained and certified instructors have a wealth of experience in teaching and performing various styles and disciplines.

Here at DeGrasse Dance Studio, we have a passion for the art of dance and for helping others discover their inner dancer.
