Evolution Dance Company opened its doors for business in June of 2013. Owner Cristi Tan had a career shift and teaching dance was a passion of hers that she wanted to keep in her life. The people closest to Cristi encouraged her to start her own studio. Being young, right out of college, Cristi had no idea where to start. It was those who encouraged her that helped find a location, establish a business name and continued pouring belief into the vision. Within a month Evolution Dance Company was born and dancers started showing up! The studio grew from a small studio that could only fit eight dancers to two studios housing over a hundred dancers. Owner Cristi Tan is grateful for the people in her life who encouraged her and believed in her. Without them she would not have had the boldness to take a leap of faith and just go for it. Being bold, ambitious and believing in yourself are the values that built EDC and Cristi continues to pour these values into her students and staff. We want people to not only dance at EDC but be inspired to pursue any dream our dancers and staff have and have the courage to just go for it!
our story

"When compared to all dance studios in the area, Evolution comes to the top of the list for us. It is small but MIGHTY. The technique and quality of the coaching is like no other. The right balance between commitment, investment and fun. Cristi and her staff have created an incredible community. My two daughters have been dancing there for 8 years and we would not have it any other way!"

"So happy we joined this studio, my dancer loves it and has found the supportive environment she was looking for to help her improve her skills. The staff promote growth, learning and team building in a positive setting. Class sizes are small. So grateful for Cristi and her team of instructors!"

"I couldn’t imagine a better environment for girls of all ages to learn how to dance than Evolution Dance Company! EDC is a positive, friendly, welcoming, and encouraging space for dancers of all age groups and skill levels. EDC goes beyond teaching dance, it is a community of families that support each other on every level, from brothers playing in the lobby while their sisters are at dance class to parents becoming life long friends bonding over their shared experiences!"

"Miss Cristi and team are phenomenal!! They teach age appropriate dances and get to know each dancer individually.. I highly recommend this studio!! There are TVs outside the studio for parents to watch, and the studio isn't so large that you get lost in the shuffle. We went to other studios nearby and did not feel the personal connection that Miss Cristi and team provide.."

The sense of community at EDC sets it apart from other studios, and the camaraderie among the students is remarkable! The instructors are highly skilled, supportive and have a passion for dance - they are dedicated to helping students grow and improve with a focus on ballet-based technique. We love EDC and look forward to many more exciting years!"

"Our daughter danced at Evolution Dance Company for 10 years before graduating from high school and moving on to college. They helped our daughter achieve her dream of dancing in college and she is thriving on her college dance team. She continues to be so fulfilled by the role dance plays in her life. She has made the greatest friends at EDC and has learned an incredible number of important life skills there. She continues to call EDC her “dance home” and visits often when she is back in town from college. We would absolutely reccomend EDC to anyone looking for a supportive dance community where dancers can reach their full potential."
