Where confidence grows, self-esteem shines, and community leads the way.
Our Philosophy
At Revelation Dance Company, we believe that dance is more than just movement — it’s a powerful tool for building confidence, character, and community.
Our mission is to create a safe, uplifting space where young dancers are encouraged to grow not only as artists, but as strong, confident individuals. We are passionate about building up girls from the inside out — nurturing their self-esteem, teaching them to believe in themselves, and helping them discover the unique light they carry.
We strive to foster a supportive environment where every dancer feels seen, valued, and empowered. Whether stepping into the studio for the first time or preparing for the stage, each student is guided with care, compassion, and purpose.
Through technique, creativity, and connection, Revelation Dance Company is proud to be a place where girls grow — in strength, in confidence, and in sisterhood.

Jazzy Garbison
Jazzy Garbison began dancing at just three years old in her small hometown in northwest Indiana at Sandra Lee Studio of Dance. She started with ballet and musical theater, and it didn’t take long before she wanted to explore more—tap, lyrical, and anything that let her express herself.
Her teacher, Miss Sandie, recognized that spark early. By middle school, Jazzy was already demonstrating in classes, learning jazz and tap not just by doing, but by teaching alongside other instructors. In high school, she was promoted to assistant instructor, where she taught ballet, musical theater, jazz, and tap.
Her junior year brought heartbreak—COVID restrictions forced the studio to close, and not long after, Jazzy lost her beloved teacher and mentor. Still, she pressed on. She danced and choreographed her entire senior year in Sandie’s memory and continued returning to the studio throughout college, stepping in for recital pieces or helping backstage whenever she could.
After graduating from Penn State with a bachelor’s in animal science, Jazzy continued her academic journey and is now pursuing her master’s degree in animal nutrition. And even after five years away from formal dance training, her passion never faded. She’s working hard to rebuild her technique and bring her 17 years of experience, dedication, and love for dance to Revelation.
