In the wild, wonderful, and wacky world of Ohio, lies a band of brave, bouncing, and bewitching children known as the 'Ohio Dance Dynamites'. Ohio, a state known for its cornfields, humming cities, and the sparkling Lake Erie, is as full of personality as a peanut butter sandwich is to jelly. This magical place is where the Dance Dynamites roll up, each kid a bright spark in the Ohio sky. These sprightly sprouts are not your everyday Ohio kids. They're as bendy as buckeye branches and as spry as speedy squirrels. The leader of this supernova crew is a character as cool as a cucumber, Captain Funky Footwork. He's not just a regular boy from Toledo. With his disco-ball helmet, shoes that tie themselves, and a heart as big as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he's a true icon in the Dance Dynamite's universe. Captain Funky Footwork and the Ohio Dance Dynamites are always ready to pop, lock, and drop it! They believe that each river in Ohio beats with a rhythmic flow and every cornfield rustles like a maraca. And so, they dance - in Dayton, in Cleveland, in Columbus, and even in the smallest of Ohio towns. Their dance is not just a regular two-step or a ballet pirouette, it’s a jumble of giggles, wiggles, and Ohio pride, that makes every adult wish they could swing their hips like a hula hoop too. The Ohio Dance Dynamites and their leader, Captain Funky Footwork, believe that the beat of Ohio is in their hearts, and they’re ready to dance it out, one funky footwork at a time!

DEBUT Creative Center & Theater-Studio is a dual-language (English–Russian) program where kids explore creativity, confidence, and self-expression. From theater and dance to fencing and stage performance, children can try new activities and discover their unique talents. Small class sizes let instructors give each child personalized attention, helping them feel comfortable, supported, and confident as they learn. Kids build artistic skills while also developing social confidence, teamwork, and poise on stage and in everyday life. Our programs celebrate each child’s individuality, combining fun, hands-on experiences with a focus on personal growth—all while keeping Russian language and culture an important part of the curriculum.
Our goal is to use the talents we have been blessed with to help children and adults have fun, learn to dance, and understand valuable life lessons through scripture and Christian music. The Christian classes will be based on the word of God, without promoting any individual religious beliefs or specific places of worship.
