  • Yes. Our coaching team includes specialists in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, breaking, poms, acro, and fitness, with dance instructional backgrounds spanning 20+ years.

  • At Dance United, our dress code is part of what makes us a team. Wearing the right dancewear encourages focus, unity, and respect for ourselves and others. The dress code is required for participation in class.

    We carry a selection of tights, shoes, and studio-branded gear for your convenience. Label everything on the inside, you’d be surprised how often shoes, socks, and even underwear end up in our lost and found!

    General Guidelines (All Classes) - please see the handbook for class specific requirements:

    • Style specific dance shoes or dance socks (from Capezio, Bloch, Apolla) are required. No street shoes may be worn on the dance studio floors.

    • Hair must be securely pulled back (including bangs) in a ponytail, braid, or bun. Kinky or natural hair: wear a secured wide headband. Breaking students: wear mid-to-low buns, braids, or ponytails.

    • No crop tops, bare midriffs, or booty shorts without tights.

    • No baggy clothes for any classes other than Hip Hop and Breaking.

    • No shirts with inappropriate language or images.

    • Skin-tone tights are required for performances unless otherwise noted.

    • Dancers in 4th grade and older must wear deodorant.

    • No jewelry is allowed except for small post or small hoop earrings (for dancer's safety).

    • Dance is for everybody. Our studio embraces all ages, sizes, and skill levels. We value the whole person and foster a body-positive, welcoming environment.

    • Every dancer is unique. We meet students where they are and help them find their voice through movement.

    • Passion fuels progress. We teach strong technique and encourage self-expression. When hard work and joy come together, beautiful things happen.

    • Dance is a team effort. We celebrate individuality while building something powerful together.

    • We lead by coaching more than instructing. Instruction teaches the steps, but coaching helps dancers grow beyond the technique. It develops confidence, creativity, and the mindset needed to thrive on stage and in life.

    • In growing together. Our students, coaches, and families learn from one another. Differences make us stronger.

  • We do offer a limited number of partial-tuition scholarships. Costume fees and reduced registration & performance fees are still required. Families must be enrolled in Community Action House’s Food Club to be eligible.
