Founded by Mrs. Nelda Hill in 1951, Hill-Top Dance Center has operated dance schools in Kansas City Kansas, Roeland Park, North Kansas City, Leawood, Lenexa and now Shawnee. Hill-Top enjoys a national reputation of providing the finest training available for students that train there. It is estimated that more than ten thousand students have taken lessons from Hill-Top during this more than half century span. "We now have students enrolled whose grandparents took lessons from Hill-Top" said Tauna Hill Keltner, current owner of the studio, and daughter of the late Mrs. Hill.
