About Saldarelli Dance Arts

Saldarelli Dance Arts is a dance studio community where students of all ages & stages learn, move, and thrive together. 

Led by Kristina Saldarelli, whose 25+ years of dance performance & education experience shape the studio's vision and approach, SDA is built on integrity, organization, and professionalism. 

At SDA, we are committed to fostering a welcoming community where every dancer feels valued and every family feels informed, respected, and confident in their dance experience.

Our teachers are selected not only for their experience and expertise, but also for their character, professionalism, and commitment to creating a positive learning environment. All staff members are trained in SDA’s teaching philosophy and standards to ensure a consistent, supportive, and high-quality experience for every dancer.
