Studio House

Studio House is an 18+ multipurpose studio offering dance classes, confidence building workshops, photography, and so much more! We are likely best known for our heels dance performance and training programs – Studio House Stilettos. Under that banner, we put on at least 3 full scale productions a year that showcase all skill and experience levels from complete beginner to advanced dancers. 

We focus on body positivity, and teach our dancers how to stand in their power and embrace their full selves. We welcome all people, ranging from those who have never danced before in their lives all the way to former competitive dancers that need a place to let go and enjoy movement once again as adults. Our stellar teaching staff also offer drop-ins and movement classes in the styles of contemporary, hiphop, jazz, ballet, and more!

The thing that really makes Studio House special is that we are not just a dance studio, we are a community. And yes, we know how cheesy that sounds – but there is no other way to explain it! Having a safe space to be exactly who you are, while being cheered on and inspired by so many others, feels like the greatest thing in the world.
