Cripple Creek Corner is a dance studio in the heart of Burgaw, NC that has been enriching lives with dance education throughout our community for almost 40 years.

If you have other questions or comments, be sure to email us at dance@cripplecreekcorner.com or call the studio at (910)259-5192.
We have seen that adding new students this late can not only inhibit the class but can be discouraging to new dancers trying to catch up to what the other dancers have already learned. That being said, every dancer is different and we would like to provide everyone with the opportunity to have a great dance education. If you'd like to register your child for dance please give us a call at the studio (910)259-5192 or email us at dance@cripplecreekcorner.com.

About Cripple Creek
Report
Cripple Creek Corner was founded in 1982 by the late Lewis "Buck" Aycock and his wife, Nancy.
Their goal was to create a place to not only teach dance but to help provide the community with arts enrichment.
Over the last three decades, the studio has offered classes in clogging, ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, modern/lyrical, theatre dance, zumba, jazzercise, aerobics, and partner dancing like shagging and ballroom.
In that time the studio has also become a place for community gatherings, weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.

Miss Nancy Rivenbark - When Miss Nancy was young she dreamed of having her own dance studio and in 1982 with the help of her late husband, Buck, they opened Cripple Creek.
Over the years, Nancy has enjoyed learning and teaching all kinds of dance.
She has been dancing for 65 years and 45 of those years have been as an advocate for clogging.
She is very proud to share this American folk dance and has made it a staple of our curriculum for many years in a time when most folks had no idea what clogging was.
