The Story of WEBBY Dance Company, Tampa Bay
Hillary Forst is the owner and founder of WEBBY Dance Company, Tampa Bay. In 2001 Hillary was introduced to the WEBBY family where she began working as a dance instructor for Becky Weber of WEBBY Dance Company, Long Beach, CA. Hillary quickly realized that sharing her love and passion for dance with children in preschools and elementary schools would be her lifelong career.
After two years of perfecting the creative technique of being a WEBBY instructor, Hillary purchased her very own WEBBY franchise in 2003 and moved home to Palm Harbor, Fl to make her dream of opening her own mobile dance company a reality. She started her first year with only 10 schools and one dance teacher. As word spread throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas counties about this reliable, professional and caring mobile dance school, WEBBY Dance Company began to grow leaps and bounds.
Today, we have six instructors teaching in 45 schools on a weekly basis. We also have a full office staff, an annual dance recital and over 500 students enrolled in 3 counties. Our philosophy is simple: To share the joys of dance and movement with children in a fun, loving and nurturing environment. With this in mind, WEBBY Dance Company, Tampa Bay has earned the reputation of being “The Best in Mobile Dance!”
