Dance Center of Deer
Park, formerly Bay Area Performing Arts Center, was formed in
1992 under the direction of Dana Bates-Sparks. BAPAC was her childhood
studio of 12 years. She trained primarily under Peggy Oliver-Hinojosa,
and then purchased the studio from her when she was 19. She tried
to keep all the wonderful standards that she were taught by her
mentor, changing little things each year to keep up with the fast
growing dance world.
Dance Center of Deer
Park is conveniently located in the heart of Deer Park. Our new
home is located at 4202 Center St. We have a spacious 3000 square
foot facility with two dance rooms. A studio that offers a wide
variety of classes that are divided by age and ability. We feel
it is important to the growth and development of our students
and our program to make sure there is the right balance of dancers
in each class. We do not want our kids to be frustrated or overwhelmed
with a class that is too hard, or bored with a class that is below
their ability. We also take the time to evaluate a student to
make sure they are in the correct class.
With Dana and her
wonderful staff (which of course has changed over the years) DCDP
has produced some really gifted and talented dancers that have
gone on to live their dance dreams. We have had drill team members,
officers and even directors throughout the area. We have had University
dance team members and officers at schools such as Kilgore, A&M,
Sam Houston and UT. We have had students perform and compete in
various venues throughout the US and Europe.
Some students have
even found their way into the teaching world, becoming choreographers
and owning their own studios. Students in our facility now are
still being given many fabulous performing and competing opportunities.
Not all students that attend our studio will go on to have dance
careers, but they are all given the same chance to succeed. Your
child’s growth and development as a dancer and person is
our number one priority!
