About Us

A place to belong, express, and grow both on and off the dance floor

Our Mission

At TC Dance Studio in Clayton, New York, we’re not just teaching steps—we’re building confidence, friendships, and a strong sense of self.

Founded in 2001 by Trisha Clement, TC Dance Studio continues a tradition of excellence and heart that began with her mentor, Marge Ely. As a child, Trisha found healing and joy in dance during a difficult time in her life. After losing her father at a young age, dance became more than a hobby—it became a safe place. A source of strength. A second home.

Now, as a teacher and studio owner, Trisha is passionate about providing that same sense of belonging, acceptance, and family to every student who walks through the door.

Whether your child is twirling into their first ballet class at age four or you’re rediscovering your love of movement as an adult, you’ll find a place to shine at TC Dance Studio.

What We Offer:
  • Ballet & Pointe
  • Contemporary

We believe that great dance training should build the body, mind, and spirit. Our experienced instructors—all former students themselves—foster a supportive, inclusive environment where dancers are encouraged to explore, grow, and express who they are.

Whether dancing for joy or with dreams of the stage, our students leave with more than choreography—they leave with confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories.
