ABOUT US

Teaching excellence in the arts without compromising values.

Our Philosophy

At Arts Avenue Theater and Dance, we celebrate diversity and embrace inclusivity. Founded in faith and guided by Christian principles, we welcome students and families of all backgrounds and beliefs. Every child is treated with the same standard of excellence and respect.

We strive to create an open, nurturing environment that supports the growth of each student — regardless of age, skill level, or experience. Our experienced, passionate instructors are dedicated to helping every dancer and performer reach their full potential and take pride in their progress.

By focusing on core skills, personal growth, and fostering lasting friendships within our community, we make sure that every student not only improves as an artist but also has fun along the way!

Our History

Arts Avenue Theater & Dance was founded in 2008 by Vicki Folsom Henderson, a respected theater professional and devoted mother who envisioned a studio that felt like a second home. Her mission was to create a safe, supportive space where students could pursue excellence in the arts while staying grounded in strong values.

Today, that vision continues under the leadership of Alexandra Vidaurri, known to students as Miss Alex. Alexandra began dancing at age two and trained extensively in ballet, along with tap, jazz, acro, and other styles. She performed with the Georgetown Ballet Company, appearing in productions such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Cinderella. She later attended Southwestern University, where she competed in collegiate cheer and dance while serving as a team captain.

Alexandra joined Arts Avenue as an instructor in 2017 and quickly developed a deep connection with its students and community. In 2023, Vicki entrusted her with carrying the studio forward. Today, Alexandra leads Arts Avenue with a modern perspective while honoring its founding values and guiding motto: Excellence in the arts without compromising values.

At Arts Avenue, we remain committed to being more than a studio—we are a place where students grow in skill, confidence, and passion, both on and off the stage.
