About Us
Our Mission
Expressions Dance & Arts is a family-friendly dance and performing arts studio in the heart of Pleasanton.

Phenomenal Faculty
Our faculty brings a wealth of dance experience and a genuine love for the art of dance, helping every student become the best version of themselves both on and off the stage.
Founded with Love
In 2012, Sandy Maloney founded Expressions Dance & Arts so that her three daughters could have an encouraging environment within which to celebrate and appreciate dance and the arts. Our logo, drawn by her oldest daughter, is a reminder that Expressions is more than a dance studio -- it is a dance family.
