Fancy Dancers company members currently range in age from 12 - 18 years.  All dancers have a strong dance background in tap, ballet and jazz.

Recent Highlights:  The Fancy Dancers returned from their European tour where they visited Italy, France, Tunisia and Spain.  The dancers performed on the MSC Fantasia cruise ship as well as a performance at Disneyland Paris.  The two-week tour provided the dancers not only with an opportunity to experience European culture first hand, but also with a chance to see the artform of dance as it was made famous in select areas such as Barcelona and Paris.
