Our Vision
Our goal is to engage our students abundantly so that they fall in love with dance. We support an inclusive community where you can discover dance, or train and make it your life's path.
What Makes the Callanwolde School of Dance Unique?
Our beautiful surroundings provide safe harbor, fresh air and a sense of community for students of all ages. While moving from one studio to another, there is an uncommon opportunity to commune with nature, have a snack by the fountain, pause in the gardens, and stroll with friends. Once in the studio there is an abundance of natural light. The mansion feels like a place our students can call home.
Our students are taught by dance professionals, this means that their teachers are currently dancing professionally or creating professionally. How this fortifies students is quite significant.
Our philosophy is present in all that we seek to do from how inclusive we are to the curriculum we stand behind. From the very beginning, our students are encouraged to be creative, free thinkers who will grow into powerful, resilient and refined movers.

Callanwolde School Of Dance: An Integrated Approach
Callanwolde offers classes that aim to expose, explore, develop and train. Very early on, we build upon the ecstatic way that children already move. Later, we focus on preserving their joy, while pairing it with skills that could shape their life.

Callanwolde School of Dance’s Training and Performing Companies
The Prime Mover Company was created to provide an in-town dance training and performance opportunity that followed trending artistic approaches to dance. Prime Movers receive training from high profile and influential dance artists who bring with them their seasoned teachings, innovative pedagogy and connections to other professional Atlanta based artists. Given the unique setting of the Callanwolde campus, and all of its event programming, the Prime Movers benefit from numerous opportunities to perform. They have continued exposure to original ideas in the form of Holiday shows with an ongoing interplay between acting, singing and dancing.
Due to COVID-19, not all classes listed above are available at this time. We look forward to being able to offer our full course load soon.
