For over four decades, Dance Workshop has been a cornerstone of the Long Island dance community, and for the past nine years, we’ve proudly served the Upper East Side of NYC! Our expansion to New York City in 2016 was driven by a deep-seated passion for fostering community and, most importantly, nurturing the growth of children, teens, young adults, and their families through dance. At Dance Workshop, every aspect of our programs is thoughtfully designed with children’s development and well-being at its heart. Our overarching mission is to create an enriching environment where students can excel in academics, participate in extracurriculars and leadership opportunities, and pursue dance at the highest level possible.
A Dance Journey for Every Age and Aspiration
From engaging Mommy & Me classes that introduce the joy of movement to our youngest dancers, to high-energy Hip-Hop sessions for teens and comprehensive programs encompassing everything in between, Dance Workshop offers a diverse range of dance classes to suit every interest and skill level. Whether your child is seeking a fun recreational activity or aspires to pursue dance at the collegiate or professional level, we provide the guidance and resources to help them achieve their goals. Tell us about your aspirations, and we’ll chart a personalized roadmap to excellence, offering the very best dance education and support along the way.
Elevate Your Skills with Our Competitive Dance Company
For dancers seeking a more intensive and challenging experience, our Competitive Company program at Dance Workshop is an unparalleled opportunity. We are committed to delivering world-class training, learning, and performance experiences, allowing our dancers to train with the best and compete at the highest levels. Company dancers benefit from exposure to exciting community events and participate in top-tier New York City dance competitions and conventions. Imagine the thrill of performing under the bright lights – our dancers have even had jumbotron moments on the fields of MLB, courts of the NBA, and halls of the NHL!
