Virginia Hintze, owner and artistic director of Hintze Dance Center, danced professionally for many years, and has devoted her time since then to teaching and custom choreography. Her studio is dedicated to the ideal that any child with the desire to dance should be given the opportunity to make that dream possible. Classes address the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advance dancers, and offer a variety of disciplines, including jazz, tap, modern, lyrical, ballet, pointe, drill team, and hip-hop. Tutu La Dance is a special program tailored exclusively for budding ballerinas aged 3-6 years. All classes learn a dance routine specifically choreographed for them, and are encouraged to perform during the annual full-costume recital held in June. A competitive Dance Company is assembled every year, grouped by age and ability into Mascot, Apprentice, Junior, and Senior troupes. The Hintze Dance Center Dance Company has an excellent reputation in the Houston area, and has won numerous awards over the years for original and outstanding choreography.
