Our Story

Our Story beings in 1971 when the school was founded by Shana Garling in Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania under the name "Shana Garling’s School of Ballet". Mrs. Garling was the only instructor and also served as president, administrator, choreographer, secretary/treasurer, and more. The first dance performance was held in 1972 at Northeastern High School, Manchester and featured approximately 40 students who studied once or twice a week. Many things have changed over the years, but Shana Garling's dream of exciting the heart, mind, soul, and spirit through dance remains.

Today, Greater York Dance serves as the region’s nonprofit center for dance education, performing company and dance arts entertainment group. Greater York Dance offers the highest level of service and instruction in the region, elite performances and training opportunities, and dedicated outreach activities that promote a lifelong enjoyment of the performing arts.

Through “Dance It Forward”, the educational outreach division, Greater York Dance collaborates with artists and artistic organizations, as well as other nonprofit community groups, public and private schools, and service providers to offer dance education classes, scholarships (for students in need, gifted, boys), lectures and performances in an effort to enrich the lives of others and affording everyone to DANCE their entire lives!

The school’s curriculum meets the needs of the casual dancer and theatre arts student as well as the student on a collegiate, commercial, ballet or professional career track. The center’s mission is to serve the community by providing positive and healthy “dancexperiences” to people of all ages and abilities.
