Why families choose Dancation

Great dancers. Even greater kids.

Clarity is kindnessFamilies deserve to know what's happening and what's coming up. From weekly updates to clear calendars and important reminders, we keep communication clear and consistent.
Safe, age-appropriate everythingFrom music and choreography to costumes and classroom instruction, we believe in keeping dance age-appropriate while helping every dancer develop safely and confidently.
Teachers who keep learningOur teachers are committed to continuing their education and growing as instructors. With CPR and First Aid training and background checks, we prioritize both the quality of instruction and the safety of our dancers.
Confidence that goes home with themThe confidence dancers build in the studio reaches far beyond the classroom. It's there when they try something new, make a new friend, speak up, or take on a new challenge.
Watch them shineFamilies can watch through our viewing windows or tune in live through Spot TV. Each June, dancers also have the opportunity to take the stage at our annual Showcase.
Just dance, or competeWhether your dancer wants to enjoy a weekly class or take on additional performance and competition opportunities, there's room to grow at Dancation. Our Performance Teams and Company offer more for dancers looking for that next step.

Before we were Ms. Kristin & Miss Kaitlyn

A family studio for 37 seasons

We grew up in this studio. Now we get to watch your kids grow up in it.

Having grown up dancing at Dancation, we know firsthand how much a dance studio can mean in a child's life. Since 2011, Kristin has proudly owned and led the studio, with Kaitlyn alongside her as Director of Operations. Today, we're proud to create the same kind of meaningful experience for a new generation of dancers, one where they can build skills, friendships, confidence, and memories that last long after the music stops.

Parents usually ask…

Can I watch my dancer?Yes! You can watch class through our viewing windows, and enrolled families can also watch live through Spot TV.
Can we join after the season starts?Absolutely! Dancers are welcome to join throughout the season whenever space is available in a class.
Is there a Showcase?Yes! Our annual Showcase takes place in June. It's optional, giving dancers the opportunity to perform for their families if they'd like to participate.
My child has never danced. Is that okay?Of course! Many of our dancers start with no experience. We welcome beginners and help them build skills and confidence at their own pace.
