Rock City Dance Center - Conway

RCDC have been recognized for their talented instructors and creative curriculum. During its first year, the RCDC Company produced three national champions and received two national choreography awards. RCDC quickly built a reputation locally, regionally and nationally for excellence in the competitive dance arena. RCDC is nationally recognized for training dancers who are not only high quality technicians, but also incredible artists. In 2012, RCDC expanded its course offerings to include a pre-professional training program. This premier training program offers students the rigorous training required to transition their passion for the arts into a profession in the arts. In 2018, RCDC became the Central training facility for the American Dance Company, a competing member of the International Dance Organization. Led by RCDC instructors Kristen Sadler-Pittman and Sydney Smith, the American Dance Company represents the United States of America on the international stage at the IDO World Championships in Europe. In 2021, Kristen Pittman partnered with Kristin O'Hara to open a second location and bring RCDC to Conway, AR. In addition to professional training opportunities, the acclaimed RCDC recreational dance program serves hundreds of dancers in the Central Arkansas community. A second location in the area allows hundreds more dancers to experience the JOY of dance with us at Rock City Dance Center. OUR MISSION
