Meet Our Founder

Justine Roberts

Founder & Executive Director

A native New Yorker, I discovered my passion for dance at the tender age of seven. With the unwavering support of my parents and guidance from my dance instructors in elementary school, junior high, and the P.A.L. Center, I honed my talent and gained admission to New York’s prestigious High School of Performing Arts.

During my career, I appeared in the movie Fame, studied at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, and majored in dance at NYU for two years. I went on to perform professionally with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, The LaRocque Bey African Dance Company, and the Joyce Trisler Danscompany. Today, I am proud to share my passion as a dance instructor and Artist-in-Residence for the State of South Carolina.
