Dance Institute

Welcome to Dance Institute, a dance studio in Denver, CO, dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for dancers of all ages to learn and grow. Our mission is to share the world of dance through technical training in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. We are committed to providing a well-rounded dance education that fosters self-assurance, poise, and confidence in our students.

Our Philosophy

At Dance Institute, we believe that dance education has numerous benefits for young people. Through dance, students can develop self-confidence, self-awareness, physical fitness, dedication, and achievement. Our philosophy is rooted in these benefits, and we aim to provide a non-competitive environment where students can learn dance as an art.

Our Services

We offer a variety of dance classes designed for dancers of all ages and skill levels. Our experienced teachers have extensive training in various dance styles, including ballet, hip hop, tap dance, and more. Our classes are designed to be fun and engaging, with a focus on technique and artistic expression.

Parental Viewing

We welcome parents to view classes, allowing them to see their child's progress and growth. We also provide a comfortable viewing area with seats, making it easy for parents to observe their child's class.

Affordable Classes

We understand that dance education can be expensive, which is why we offer combination classes that provide a well-rounded dance education without breaking the bank. Our affordable classes make it easy for families to give their children the gift of dance.

Non-Competitive Atmosphere

At Dance Institute, we believe that every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn and grow. We do not promote competition among our students, instead, we focus on fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere that allows each student to shine.

Community-Focused

We are committed to giving back to our community by performing at various events throughout Denver and at retirement homes. We also donate show proceeds to local schools and raise funds for local charities.

Parental Involvement

We encourage parental involvement and provide opportunities for parents to participate in events and activities at our studio. Our Parent Organization (DIPO) is dedicated to creating a sense of community among our parents and dancers.

Structured Curriculum

Our dance school year runs from September to June, with a recital in June. Our students will have the opportunity to "graduate" in June, moving on to the next level of training in the following September.
