About Us
A MISSION OF MOVEMENT
Established in 1954, Bean School of Dance has been an award-winning dance studio in Amelia Island / Fernandina Beach for over 65 years!
Founded by Joan Bean, and now co-directed by grand daughters Kristin and Keeli Bean. She instilled in us that our purpose is to "teach more than just dance." Proper technique and training are extremely inportant to us, but we also focus on building confident, well rounded, ladies and gentlemen as well as strong performers.
At BSD we offer a diverse range of classes for aspiring ad advanced dancers of all ages.
