Founded in 1998 by Artistic Director Angel Fraser-Logan, Dance Empire was created from a bold vision: to provide exceptional, comprehensive dance education across all genres under one roof. Serving the Greater Miami area, including Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, and surrounding South Miami-Dade communities, Dance Empire quickly distinguished itself as a premier training ground for ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, and contemporary dance. From its earliest days, the studio experienced remarkable growth and became a destination for serious dancers seeking elite training, artistic excellence, and professional preparation. Its reputation extended beyond the studio, attracting dancers preparing for national television, concert stages, and professional careers. Under Angel Fraser-Logan’s leadership, Dance Empire has garnered national and international recognition. For nearly three decades, Dance Empire has remained committed to developing dancers from the ground up—technically strong, artistically grounded, and prepared for the demands of the professional world. Alumni have gone on to perform on Broadway; work with Disney; dance with acclaimed companies such as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet BC, and Complexions; and join professional and collegiate dance teams nationwide. Many have been accepted into prestigious arts programs and institutions including The Juilliard School, Jacob’s Pillow, American Dance Festival, Ailey/Fordham, and leading magnet arts schools. Dance Empire dancers have toured internationally with major musical artists and appeared on widely recognized television programs, further reflecting the studio’s reach and influence within the industry. Equally important, the studio remains deeply rooted in its mission to provide outstanding dance education within a nurturing, disciplined, and inspiring environment. Today, Angel Fraser-Logan continues to teach and mentor dancers weekly, supported by a faculty that includes many artists she personally trained. Guided by her enduring philosophy - “Where proper training meets artistic integrity, the result is timeless excellence in not only dance, but life itself” - Dance Empire continues to shape the next generation of artists and leaders in dance.
