Our approach is innovative, educational, and nurturing. Each student receives personalized attention, fostering their growth as individuals, artists, and dancers. We provide the tools for our students to wisely develop both body and mind, and cultivate a love and appreciation for the journey of learning and growth through the artistry of dance.
​
We offer a full schedule of classes for children ages 3 through teens:
Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop.
We believe that our dancers thrive in a positive and encouraging environment.
At DanceWorks Studios, we promise challenging and rewarding experiences for all dancers.

"Serious dance training can and should be taught in a safe, nurturing and fun-loving environment - providing a challenging and rewarding experience for all dancers."
- Kathy Costa McKeown, Director, DanceWorks Studios
THE DANCEWORKS COMMITMENT
We promise to provide the most current, informative, creative, and inspiring dance education, with a strong emphasis on anatomy. Understanding the body's mechanics is crucial for safe and effective dance practice. Each student's personal growth as a dancer remains our top priority.
THE STUDENTS COMMITMENT
We expect all students to attend their scheduled classes weekly for the entire dance season, from September through June. Students will stay in their assigned classes throughout the season to adapt and grow both technically and creatively, becoming the best versions of themselves. From September to February, we focus on technique, and in February, we begin choreography for our Annual Spring Dance Concerts in June. All students will perform in our Annual Spring Dance Concerts in June.
