Studio

FLARE is an outreach of Chattanooga Christian School under the direction of Emma Pannkuk.

FLARE dance studio offers quality dance instruction with a variety of styles and techniques in a Christ-centered environment. FLARE welcomes students of all ages throughout Chattanooga—you do not have to be a CCS student to participate. We desire to impart a love of dance as we encourage excellence in technique and artistry. It is our hope that our dancers would gain an appreciation for the beauty of art as well as the joy of dance.
