Our History
The Academy of Dance was established in 1989 by Susan Robbins. She focused on the art of dance
through technique offering ballet, tap and jazz. Mrs. Susan Robbins brought the Cecchetti method to
North Dakota as the foundation of teaching ballet. In 2001, Heather Cote a student trained by
Susan, and Dickinson native, took over her business. Since Ms. Heather Cote purchase of the
business, the ballet standards have remained the same, while additional styles of dance were
introduced. In the past thirteen years, the Academy of Dance has offered ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop,
modern, couples classes, Mommy and Me, and adult ballet & tap classes. We are always looking for
new ways to share the love of dance with the community.
In 2022 The Academy of Dance restarted our Competition team program.
