The heart behind ETD
“What began as outreach in local schools, renting spaces and building relationships, took a turn when a determined parent found the building that would become ETD.”
Chan'nel Johnson started teaching dance in schools and community centers. When her students graduated out of those classes, there was nowhere in the Atlanta area for them to keep training. So in 2014 she opened one.
Twelve seasons later, the students who were babies in her first classes are teenagers on stage. Some of them teach here now.
Home, love and dance is who we are. Creating a safe space to educate children thru dance is what we do.
