Briscuso Dance Studio

Our Story

Briscuso Dance Studio has been a cornerstone of the St. Louis dance community for over four decades. Founded in 1980 by Judy Briscuso, the studio has grown from humble beginnings in her basement to its current location in Manchester, MO. The studio's commitment to age-appropriate standards, dedication to producing dancers with great life skills, and positive atmosphere have made it a beloved destination for families seeking a dynamic and nurturing environment for their children to grow and flourish.

Our Mission

At Briscuso Dance Studio, we believe that dance is a powerful tool for personal growth, self-expression, and community building. Our mission is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals of all ages and skill levels can come together to learn, create, and thrive. We strive to foster a sense of community and belonging among our students, teachers, and families, and to empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Our Classes

We offer a wide range of classes for students of all ages and skill levels, from ballet to tap, and from jazz to contemporary. Our expert instructors, many of whom have been with the studio for years, are dedicated to providing personalized attention and guidance to help our students achieve their goals and explore their passion for dance. We believe that dance should be a positive influence at every age, and we are committed to providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment for our students to learn and grow.

Our Competition Team

Our competition team is a positive learning environment intended to advance our dancers' training and provide them with unique experiences and opportunities. We believe that competition is a valuable way for dancers to test their skills, learn from feedback, and push themselves to new heights. Our teams have won numerous top placements and special awards, but most importantly, we focus on the growth mentality and the excitement of the performance itself.
