Sharon Arnold and six of her young dance students began the development of a repertory dance group in 1980. This group, growing to fifteen members by close of 1980, started performing for local service clubs, schools, and other organizations in and around Sidney, Ohio. The enthusiasm with which these performances were received resulted in the fully chartered, non-profit organization, Sidney Dance Company.

Today, the Sidney Dance Company is a semi-professional theatre company providing classes in ballet, jazz, modern, tap, acrobatics and vocal/musical performance. All positions within the company are auditioned each year, with members ranging in age from 10-18 years old. Our members are from the Miami and Shelby counties. Each member is held to strict academic and behavioral requirements. Beyond the stage, our members learn leadership, self-discipline, civic duty, confidence and so much more!
