More than a dance studio, it’s a dance family. 💜✨

At South Metro Dance Arts Center, one of the things we’re most proud of is the community that fills our studio. From our minis to our seniors, dancers know each other, encourage each other, and build friendships that go far beyond their individual classes.

And while we love our competitive program, our recreational program is an even bigger part of the SMDAC family!

Because dance isn’t just about perfecting technique. It’s about discovering a love for movement, sharing that passion with others, meeting new people, and learning from everyone around you.

There’s a place for every dancer here. 💃💜

✨ Alumni Spotlight: Kaitlin Lamm ✨

Kaitlin spent 12 unforgettable years with SMDAC as her dance home. From competitive studio days to serving as a captain on dance teams, her dance experience taught her so much about leadership, confidence, and community.

She is now a junior in college, helping lead others in her sorority at Iowa State University, where she just had the incredible honor of being a Recruitment Counselor for Iowa State Panhellenic.

Kaitlin, we are so lucky to have watched you grow into the incredible woman you are today. 🫶🏻

From dancer to instructor, Hannah Johnson has grown up right here at SMDAC. 💜✨

Hannah spent 7 years as a dancer at South Metro Dance Arts Center before beginning as an assistant teacher in high school. By 22, she was teaching full-time, and now she’s been inspiring the next generation of dancers for 13 years!

One memory she’ll never forget? During COVID, when a traditional recital wasn’t possible, SMDAC rolled out the red carpet, literally! Dancers put on their costumes, walked the red carpet at a movie theater, took photos, and received their recital medals. It was a special way to make sure our dancers still got the celebration they deserved.

It’s memories, relationships, and traditions like these that make SMDAC so much more than a place to dance. 💃

Come for the dance. Stay for the friendships, memories, and plenty of smiles along the way. 😊💃

Big dreams start with little steps. 💜✨

At SMDAC, every class is about so much more than learning choreography. It’s about building confidence, making friends, learning new skills, and creating a love for dance that can last a lifetime.

From stretching together to practicing those moves one-on-one, our instructors are here to encourage every dancer along the way. 🩰

We love watching these young dancers learn, grow, and have FUN in the studio! 💃✨
