INTRODUCTION

Vergine’s Dance Studio was established in 1987 in Soldotna, Alaska. Vergine’s desire to teach the art of dance is the  result of her life long love of dance. 

Vergine was born and raised in Armenia, a former republic of the USSR. She danced throughout her school years and was later accepted into the National State Dance Company.  She later immigrated to Alaska where she desired to teach the art of ballet, jazz, and other forms of dance.   She believes when a student learns the arts, in a high quality and professional manner, the results are life-changing.   

 

Many a student and parent have expressed their gratitude, at the overall changes that the love and discipline of dance has brought into their life.  The studio has grown dramatically over the years in size, levels, and aspirations. What started with beginner dance classes has blossomed and expanded into advanced company dancers, desiring to become professionals both in dance and all walks of life. Company dancers have traveled throughout the United States, receiving valuable experience and achieving tremendous results, through workshops and competitions.  One by one, as each dancer is  positively impacted by their experience with the studio they, in turn, become that positive influence in their community.  

 

The future for both Vergine and the studio is a bright one, set on achieving more dreams and higher standards of quality
