DISCOVER ROCK CITY DANCE
MISSION
Our mission is to provide a fun and supportive space for people of all ages and skill levels to learn and experience the JOY of dance.
COMPANY HISTORY
Rock City Dance Center opened in May 2010 under the direction of Kristen Sadler Pittman. Within the first four months of operation, RCDC enrolled over 200 students and had grown to employ six teachers. Since year one, the training programs at RCDC have been recognized for their talent and creativity. That first year, the RCDC Company produced three national champions and received two national choreography awards. Rock City quickly built a reputation for excellence in the competitive dance world regionally and nationally. RCDC is nationally known for training strong dancers who are not only quality technicians, but also incredible artists. In 2012, RCDC expanded it’s course offerings to include a pre-professional training program and in 2015 RCDC expanded once again with the Official Ballet School of RCDC. These two premier training programs offer students the vigorous training required to turn their passion for the arts into a profession. Along with professional training opportunites, the recreational dance program has continued to serve the community of Central Arkansas. Dancers as young as 2 have enjoyed experiencing the JOY of dance with us at Rock City!

Regardless of your chosen involvement, every RCDC dancer matters. We listen to you and maintain an open line of communication with all our customers. Our focus is on the excellence, fun, and joy of dance at every level. We understand the discipline, artistry, and development acquired through the study of dance provide students with the confidence, focus, and grace for success in years to come.
We offer classes to beginners who want to try the moves they see on TV, as well as train our dancers in classic and commercial styles for professional careers. We cater to all levels and styles of dance education. We also bring in working professionals quarterly from across the United States to teach master classes to our students, exposing them to the entertainment industry and opening doors for them to network for their future. We are the only studio in Central Arkansas providing dancers with these opportunities on a regular basis. RCDC is a one-stop shop for anything and everything dance!
