Our take

Epicenter's defining trait is that faith isn't a side note — it's the organizing principle. The center is explicit that its mission is to honor God through the arts, and families who want performing-arts training inside a Christian framework are exactly who it's built for. That's the first thing to know, because it shapes the culture more than the class list does: the program names discipleship alongside technique, and its stated "Ministry" value runs through how it teaches.

Beyond that, it's genuinely a multi-arts center rather than a single-discipline studio — dance (ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop), a private-lesson music program, and a Triple Threat acting track, plus performing and mentoring companies including Ingredients Dance Company for students who want to go deeper. The people running it aren't newcomers: they founded and still run Dance Revolution, a national Christian dance convention that tours the country, so the instruction carries that broader performance pedigree. If you want a secular dance factory that puts competition first, this isn't that; if you want serious arts training in an openly faith-based environment, it's a strong fit.

Local Tips

Epicenter is on East Highway 114, and the building doubles as the headquarters of the Brogans' national Dance Revolution tour — so it's a busier operation, built more around productions, than a typical neighborhood studio. A few practical notes:

  • The faith emphasis is real and up front, so it's the right first question if that matters either way to your family.
  • The center runs dance, music, and acting programs plus performing companies, so ask which track fits.
  • It hosts parties and runs a full summer camp slate.

Monthly tuition scales with how many class-hours a week your child takes, with a registration fee, a Spring Showcase costume fee, and show fees for the Christmas and Spring showcases — all posted, so you can budget before enrolling.

Credentials

Epicenter for the Arts was founded and is directed by Michelle Brogan, with co-founder Alec Brogan; the married couple have run performing-arts training and the Dance Revolution national dance convention since the early 2000s. Michelle has taught and equipped performing artists since 1990. The center is staffed by instructors across dance, music, and acting, and runs performing and mentoring companies (including Ingredients Dance Company) for its more advanced students.
