Excellence starts with exceptional teachers.

At Footnotes School of Dance, we don't just hire dance teachers. We seek educators with the training, experience, and passion to develop dancers the right way.

That's why we're proud to welcome Ms. Noha Rocha to our faculty.

Trained in the prestigious Russian Vaganova Method with over 20 years of teaching experience, Ms. Noha brings world-class ballet instruction to our students. Originally from Brazil, she combines technical excellence with a teaching philosophy centered on confidence, artistry, discipline, and respect for every child.

We are honored to have her join the Footnotes family and can't wait to watch our dancers flourish under her guidance. Because every child deserves an exceptional teacher. 💜

Some opportunities are simply unforgettable.

Last Saturday, seven Footnotes dancers had the incredible honor of dancing at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Experiences like these teach so much more than choreography. They build confidence, adaptability, professionalism, and artistry.

Dancers were able to meet the dance captains and learn choreography from the current show “Across the Pond” and perform it onstage at The Globe Theatre.
They then got to meet the cast and do a Q&A session. Then we traveled around to see all of the shows in the park and were able to meet each cast!

A heartfelt thank you to Josh Van Weinen at Busch Gardens for investing in young performers and providing opportunities that inspire the next generation of artists. We are so proud of these dancers and the way they represented Footnotes. 💙
