S&R would like to say congratulations to all of our former alumni, many of which have started their dance careers and families of their own. We are so proud of you!
S&R dance studio is owned and operated by Nikki Spinden-Meagher. S&R was started under the original name Sunshine and Rainbows by Mary Berryhill in 1983. Nikki became the competitive director of S&R in 2001 and Mary handed over the reins to Nikki in August of 2007. Mary continues to teach at the studio today.
S&R offers classes from ages 2 ½ through adult. S&R has an outstanding recreational dance program offering classes in tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, parent/child, daddy/daughter and adult only classes. S&R’s competitive program is nationally renowned, winning hundreds of overall score, choreography and title awards every dance season.
Our mission at S&R is to not only provide a fun, safe learning environment in a family-friendly atmosphere for ages 2 ½ - adults, but to teach others to believe in themselves while enjoying quality instruction. I love the saying on a plaque that was given to me from a former student: "A true dance teacher does not merely teach the body to move with music, but teaches the soul to dance with life".
