Our studio is a family-friendly space with plenty of room for parents and siblings to hang around while dancers are in class. Our welcoming lobby area offers magazines, coffee, snacks, and free Wi-Fi for your convenience. We also have a back room equipped with tables and chairs where dancers can do homework, eat dinner, or have a snack between classes. There are books, toys, and games available for enjoyment as well.

We have three spacious dance studios equipped with sprung hardwood floors, double barres, and full mirrors to provide the best dancing experience. Our studio is conveniently located on Highway 16 between La Crosse and Onalaska, just south of Valley View Mall.
