-About Us-

Shari Polis started UpBring Dance Company on September 11, 2001, after realizing her purpose in life. UpBring started with 2 classes a week of 40 students each crammed into one studio. UpBring now offers Performance Dance, Musical Theater, Toddler Dance, Baby Dance, and Hip Hop. UpBring teaches to a very wide variety of music that matches the theme of the year. The 2010-2011 theme is Rock and Roll!

UpBring now offers theater classes in Manhattan, beginning September 2010! Click on Schedule and Registration to learn about our new Manhattan classes. All Manhattan classes will be held at Roy Arias Studios: 300 West 43rd Street between 8th and 9th Avenues.

UpBring focuses on the enjoyment of dance, while teaching technique along the way. We love encouraging creativity and choreography from the dancers; many dancers help create moves and ideas for the pieces you see on the stage! Our music choices lend themselves to a creative environment. Hip hop music, popular show tunes, current pop music, and classic oldies quickly become dancer favorites, especially since we give the dancers a free cd of their dance music to take home and to which they dance around the kitchen with their families.
