About Our Founder

Meet Janicka Arthur

I’m Janicka A. Arthur, an entrepreneur, choreographer, movement strategist, public speaker, and creative business consultant located in Dallas, Texas. I work directly with adult dancers and aspiring dancers alike to guide them through physical movement as they develop a mindset of strength and a soul full of passion where their physical victories truly reflect an inner transformation.

I welcome you with open arms, proper technique, and classes designed to make you MOVE! ✸

My journey began at the ETA Cultural Center on the Southside of Chicago.

After finding my passion in dance, I continued my education at The Chicago Academy of Arts, the nation’s premier performing and visual arts high school under the direction of Anna Paskevska and Randy Duncan. Over the years, I became well versed in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and West African Dance receiving additional training from the Ailey School, Ballet Chicago, Jeraldyne’s School of Dance, and Deeply Rooted Productions.

In 2008, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. It was there that my passion for guiding mature aspiring dancers was born. I credit the art and technique of ballet for nurturing me into a woman full of confidence, strength and tenacity, able to overcome any obstacle placed before me. My desire to empower students with this same glass-ceiling-shattering motivation is what drives me.
