Candace Dance

Candace Dance has been nurturing dancers of all skill levels for over a decade, offering specialized training in both recreational and competitive dance disciplines. Founded by Candace Roussel, a seasoned professional with 24 years of training under renowned choreographers, our studio combines technical excellence with character development. We provide students access to world-class instructors, including guest artists like Phil Wright and Brandon Bryant, while fostering values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Our competition teams have earned national titles, and our curriculum spans ballet, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary styles. With two Louisiana locations in Bossier City and Benton, we serve families seeking both casual dance education and pre-professional training.

Our faculty includes certified instructors with extensive performance backgrounds, such as Whitney Bell, a former Ladybugs dancer, and Reagan Stewart, a Joffrey Ballet School alumna. We maintain partnerships with industry leaders to offer workshops and audition opportunities nationwide. Our 12-year anniversary season features 1/2 OFF registration fees during May, reflecting our commitment to accessible dance education. Students benefit from performance opportunities at venues like The Strand Theater and structured dress code requirements ensuring professional development. We prioritize creating a welcoming environment where dancers build confidence and lifelong skills.
