Jeff
Boss, Co-Owner & Co-Director
Jeff
Boss, originally from the Atlanta, Georgia area, grew up in Duluth
where his mom owned a dance studio. He attended Northside School
of the Arts (currently known as North Atlanta High School of
the Performing Arts) where he continued his dance and musical
theatre training. While at Northside, he toured with the Atlanta
Convention Bureau performing around the world in Tokyo, London,
Brussels, and Paris, as well as New York, Las Vegas and regionally
throughout the southeastern United States. He was also part of
a select few to represent Coca Cola internationally as a “Coke
Is It” kid.
After graduation, he continued to study under Gary Harrison
and was an original member of Harrison and Company, an elite
dance company formed in Atlanta in the late 1980’s. Jeff
did regional theatre productions and played the role of Bobby
in A Chorus Line at the Alliance Theatre. In 1989, Jeff
ventured out to perform with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. After
numerous contracts with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise
Lines, he was appointed Dance captain of several shows and choreographed
numbers for the cruise lines. He continued to perform around
the world in Japan and Malaysia for both US and British producers.
He has also worked for many industrials and trade shows.
After 15 years as a professional dancer, Jeff returned home
to become co-owner and co-Artistic Director for Dance Arts Centre
(DAC). As one of the directors of DAC, Jeff has taken the studio
to a level never imagined or achieved here in the Atlanta area.
The studio and his students are nationally known on many levels.
Additionally, Jeff is a sought-after master teacher and choreographer
throughout the U.S. During the year he finds time to judge for
top competitions nationwide, teach and choreograph. His choreography
has been recognized both regionally and nationally.
Jeff’s main goal as a studio owner and teacher is to ensure
that his students receive the proper training in all aspects
of dance, so if they want to pursue a career in dance or attend
college, they have an exceptional foundation.
When considering his impact and role in teaching, mentoring
and leaving a lasting legacy for his students, Jeff sums up his
teaching philosophy…
“… It is never about the
latest style or trend, it is about the training ….so
they will be able to have longevity in the ever-changing
world of dance….”
