Established in 1989 in Greenwood, Indiana, and into a transition period of being part of the Carmel community since 2003, Dance Class Studio is a unique environment designed to offer a fun, rewarding, and positive experience where everyone is welcome to find their love for the art of dance. Our experienced and dedicated staff help our students achieve their highest potential by providing a solid technical foundation and performance opportunities. We are committed to ensuring a safe, family-friendly, age-appropriate environment including proper class attire, costuming, choreography, and music. We believe the benefits of dance are numerous and will go way beyond the classroom and stage. Dance lasts a lifetime!

    • We feature two dance studios, each with Marley-covered wood suspended floors, full mirrored walls, suspended ballet barres, portable ballet barres, Bluetooth sound systems, and large viewing windows so parents are able to watch classes.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of a very special studio. It is a pleasure to welcome you to DANCE CLASS STUDIO!

If we cannot offer one of the above, a $10 credit will be applied to your dance class studio account or you can request a refund by check.
  • Due to our small class size and personal services, we do not offer make-up classes for students missing classes for personal reasons.

COMPETITION TEAMS

These groups are designed for those experienced students who wish to have more opportunities than the recreational dancer. These dancers must take the required classes each week including ballet, tap, and jazz; additional classes are also offered or may be required. Students and parents must be willing to be dedicated to the group and make the commitment for the complete dance year. Our “Company” competition team represents the studio at competitions and outside events.
For further details, read more about our company.
