a new kind of studio

At Dance Connection, we believe a studio can offer an elite training program and a family-friendly community environment. 

We care about developing the WHOLE DANCER – as an artist, a competitor, a student, a human, and a community member. 

With this approach, our teachers create a space for each dancer to thrive, excel, and experience the joy of dancing.

With support and guidance, dancers unlock the best version of themselves, and as they grow, we encourage them to take ownership of their journey and take on leadership roles at the studio. 

Dance Connection has been sharing our love of dance with the community since 1987. We are so proud of the multiple generations of dancers that have grown up in our program, and we look forward to welcoming you to our Family!!
