The Story of Ammena

In 2004, owner and founder Lise-Anne Talhami opened Ammena Dance Company with a dream of bringing the community together through dance.  Since then, Ammena Dance Company's community has grown by leaps and bounds.  Why?  Two simple ingredients… our atmosphere; people call us their home away from home, and our attitude; everyone is accepted and welcomed like family. Students from all walks of life come to our classes; every profession, all ages, shapes and sizes. Some are still with us from our very first class!  Others have moved away and have gone on to realize some amazing life goals. Ammena Dance Company offers a variety of styles from couple's dance classes in Ballroom, Latin, Argentine Tango and Wedding dances. To Bellydance and Bollywood, Latin and Dancehall, African and Ballet, Burlesque Contemporary. With this variety there is a class for everyone. We offer everything from recreational dance classes to dance performance classes. Join us for our annual show March 2nd, 2024.
