About Me

Chatham Dance Connection was established in August of 2008. We began our program in a local after-school facility with just a handful of students. After four years of instruction and three temporary locations, we finally opened our very own studio in the fall of 2012 with over 100 students. We’re so proud of the students that we teach, the faith our students and parents have had in our level of instruction, and the dedication that our dance family has shown over the years. Ebony, the program director, developed a love of dance at a very early age after training throughout her childhood in ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe. Ebony attended UNC-Chapel Hill and received her B.A. degree in Afro-American Studies. While at UNC-Chapel Hill, Ebony was part of the High Kickin' Heels Dance Team, as well as the OPEYO! dancers. She served as choreographer for the semi-professional Durham Storm Cheerleaders in the late 1990s. Ebony also worked as an acrobatics and dance instructor in the triangle and triad area with Tap and Tumble. In the fall of 2008, Ebony decided to start her own dance company, and this is where Chatham Dance Connection began. She started the program with about 25 students in a local after-school program and has seen the programs grow through the years. The studio is now housed at the Chatham Mills Studio in the heart of Pittsboro. Her love of children and dedication to quality dance education continues to be the purpose of our dance program.
