Bay Valley Dance and Gymnastics Academy was first established in 1976 at which time it was known as "Holly Bills Dance and Gymnastics Academy. In January of 1983, we expanded our programs for the second time in two years and moved to our present location where we are able to offer a complete Dance and Gymnastics center all under one roof. In October of 1994 we found that we had outgrown our space and once again expanded with a 4000 square foot addition. This allowed us to provide a larger dance area and sitting room, additional bathrooms and dressing rooms, and increased our gymnastics center by nearly 30%. It's a one of a kind facility in this area, and the only one in the Bay County area to offer a true Olympic Gymnastics center, providing a pleasant and enjoyable environment for the student to learn technical skills along with flexibility, concentration, discipline, self confidence, and sportsmanship.
At Bay Valley Academy, we have a philosophy about teaching methods emphasizing SAFETY, TEACHING PROGRESSIVE SKILLS, BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM, AND HAVING FUN.
Our goal is to:
All of our programs provide professional instruction for all levels and ages of both, boys and girls.
A dance and gymnastics education can provide a foundation that any student can use to excel in any artistic performance or sporting event.
