      Director's Message

      Welcome to Dance Expressions, a well established dance academy in  Westborough for over 25 years. Our mission at Dance Expressions is to  inspire and nurture our dancers to reach their fullest potential. Our  highly qualified professional instructors provide our students with  proper dance technique in a stress free dance environment. Everyone of  our dancers is a special member of our dance family regardless of  whether they wish to do competitions or be a recreational dancer and  only take one class. We cater to each students needs and interests so  they can achieve their dance goals.

      Our Instructors and Teaching Style

      Our professional dance instructors are above all educators who focus on  producing dancers that are poised, confident and exude high self-esteem.  Dance technique is very important to Miss Laurene, our Director, and as such, dance students receive quality technique training from September  through June, with a focus on dance performance choreography in the  Spring.

      Our History

      So excited to be celebrating our 28th year of providing so many of the  youngsters in our community with excellence in dance. Dance Expressions is so proud of our many accomplishments in inspiring and creating the  passion for dance to our students in order to be the best they can be.

                   The Academy of Dance Expressions is a well established and  accomplished dance studio which opened in Westboro in 1995 under the  direction of founder, Laurene Aldorisio, a talented dance educator who  has been teaching dance for over 20 years and prides herself in offering  programs of dance that cater to each students needs, talents and  interests. Laurene is a native of this area and was raised and grew up  in Northboro, Ma.

                   Laurene's motivation is having something for everyone who  has an interest in dancing regardless of their level, age, gender or  goals as classes are available for tiny tots age 18 months years to  adults as well as to seniors as she has an adult ballet,  and tap class for  beginners as well as an  adult jazz and movement class. Whether a person  wishes to take only one class in any one of her several forms of dance  offered or wishes to think about a career in dance by participating as a  Dance Expressions Dance Company member , they are very much part of our dance family.

                   Her philosophy of "we stress dance technique in a stress  free dance environment" has been her motto from the beginning as she and  her professional staff teach dance where their focus is doing it in a  caring and nurturing way in order to have students reach their fullest  potential. Students are offered the opportunity to improve their dance  skills through master classes taught by very acclaimed artists  throughout the United States, attend dance conventions, participate in  dance competitions, audition with professional local dance company to be  in their winter or spring ballet performances, do community outreach  performances in the MetroWest area and perform at both our winter and  spring fantastic performances.

                    Dance Expressions is highly regarded and recognized for its  participation at various performance venues. Our technique and  choreography are consistently singled out by judges, instructors and  dance directors at these events. Several of our students have received  full scholarships at dance conventions and won the highest awards and  scores at dance competitions. A few of our students have furthered their  dance careers by becoming dance majors at various college dance  programs.
