About Us

Offering your child an age-appropriate dance program, inclusive of music, costumes, and choreography...a studio where your KID CAN BE A KID!

At SDS we strive to teach your dancer character and life skills that they can use into adulthood. We know a small percentage of dancers graduate and pursue a dance career so we strive to equip dancers to use the skills they gain in our studio to excel in any career they choose to pursue.

Culture & Values

MORE THAN JUST GREAT DANCING

Our goal is to use dance lessons as the vehicle to make great kids. In addition to dance classes, your dancer will be exposed to community service projects, character building, leadership skills, and recognition for their academic achievements.

Our MTJGD studio offers ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, Acro, contemporary, musical theatre, lyrical, and pre-pointe classes. We specialize in time-honored Broadway styling. We love white gloves, musical theatre heels, Broadway music, and movement that is elegant and age-appropriate!

TESTIMONIALS FROM PARENTS & STUDENTS

What our dance family says about us

"This is our first year dancing. My daughter loves it!! The instructors are very patient with her and with me being a first time dance mom. They have answered all my questions and help me out with everything. They also let her watch "the big kids" dance after her class."

Leslee B.

“My girls love this dance studio. At the end of every year, I promise myself I will cut down on the classes since we are so busy, but all summer long my littlest one begs me to let her do three classes instead of two. We have been dancing there for about seven years and would never change it. The teachers are great. I love that it’s a family owned business and we just love the staff there.”

Katie H.

“We absolutely love Showcase! The teachers and staff are professional and caring. There is a great variety of classes. Information is consistently shared with parents. If I do have questions, they are answered almost immediately. My daughter has felt like a member of the Showcase family from day one by her fellow dancers, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Meg, and all the other amazing teachers and staff!”
