Ann Moody Sill Dance Studio
Ann Moody Sill Dance Studio is proud to have offered the finest in dance education for the past 39 years. Offering a non-competitive family atmosphere, students may dance simply for the enjoyment of the art, to pursue a professional career or become a teacher. AMSDS uniquely offers its students, including performing company members, the opportunity to participate in other school or outside activities while dancing with the AMSDS Company. In place of dance competitions, AMSDS focuses on community performing, including 27 years of elaborate annual Christmas Shows seen all around the Houston area.
“I feel that dancers should offer a portion of their talents back to the community, ” says Ann Sill, owner and director of the studio since 1971.
AMSDS has also put a “freeze” on all costs (tuition, registration fee, recital fees, etc.) in order to accommodate families during the country ’s shaky economy, thus allowing more children to take or continue taking dance. This spring, the studio will present its bi-annual recital at Houston ’s Wortham Center.
“You’ve never seen a dance recital quite like ours,” boasts Ms. Sill. “So come dance with us!”
