Welcome to the
East Texas
Dance Company
We provide dance classes and services to the people of Longview and the surrounding areas. Our expertise includes working with small children as well as teenagers and adults. We are also very proud of our award winning Competition Dance Teams that have been a part of our studio for the last ten years.
The Dance Studio was originally established in 1957 by Joan Fuller. It was then purchased in 1986 by Tina Grider and thus became Tina Grider School of Dance. MS. Grider Lyon continued the studio legacy for the last 35 years.
We are now pleased to announce that as of June 2021, Alexis Marjason will continue the tradition of Tina Grider School of Dance. Alexis grew up in the studio and has always been involved in all aspecs of the studio. Her dream has come true of being able to continue the legacy of this East Texas dance tradition.
We take great pride in keeping current with our dance education in order to provide our students with up-to-date yet always appropriate materials. We do this so that our students will always enjoy their dance experience at our studio.
We are very proud of serving Longview and EastTexas for the last 65 years.
