Archer Altstaetter

Dance Emotion is Mr. Archer's dream. He had the name picked out since he was 16 but didn't get to open his dream studio until 1997. His first teaching experience was at the age of 15 when he assisted his dance teacher, Miss Pam, in Ohio. His ballet training continued with Dayton Ballet and went on tour with Hoctor's Dance Caravan at 17 and was able to study with professionals from around the world. He danced in "Superstars" for King's Island and was in the original cast of Disneyland's "Fantasmic" as well as many other Disney productions. He taught for many studios during his performance career while planning and developing his plans for Dance Emotion. His dream studio came to life in 1997 and grew into an even bigger dream.  

Mr Archer wants to take Dance Emotion and dance education everywhere. Future plans include a workout center, study center, built in theatre and a full show production center that will continue to provide a quality dance experience without unnecessary costs.
