Charlie & Stephanie Vogl
Owners
Charlie & Stephanie Vogl opened The Dancer’s EDGE in a small, two-studio facility on N Center Point Road in 2008. They dreamed of sharing their passion for dance with young students in their hometown and providing a higher quality dance education than previously available in the area.
After the studio continued to grow by leaps and bounds, Charlie left his job as a software developer in 2011, and the studio moved to a purpose-built facility on Hawkeye Drive. Fast forward to 2017, the studio went through another expansion to its current state, and Stephanie left her job in corporate finance to be full-time at the EDGE.
With over 30,000 square feet, The Dancer’s EDGE is now one of the largest private dance studios in the country. Charlie and Stephanie are thrilled to utilize this beautiful space for the area’s premier preschool during the day.
Charlie and Stephanie have a daughter named Leah (who is the light of their lives!). They make it their mission to ensure that each student at The Dancer’s EDGE and The Early EDGE receives the same love, care, and commitment to excellence they would want for their own daughter.
