What does mental health have to do with dance?

Honestly?
A lot.

Dance gives kids a place to practice some of the biggest skills they’ll carry far beyond the studio.

Trying something hard.
Making mistakes.
Receiving correction.
Working through frustration.
Building confidence.
Trusting themselves.
Supporting the people around them.
And learning that they don’t have to be perfect to belong.

We don’t believe dance is therapy—and we don’t pretend it is.

But we do believe the environment we create matters.

The words we use matter.
The way we correct matters.
The way we celebrate matters.
And whether a child feels like they belong matters.

Because someday, they’re going to forget the combination they learned in class.

We hope they don’t forget how they felt while learning it.

Challenged, but never compared.

Rooted in joy.

Always belonging.

We’re not THAT dance studio.

You know the one.

The one where being the best matters more than being yourself. Where comparison is called motivation. Where dance has to be stressful to be serious.

That’s not us.

We are proudly non-competitive. That doesn’t mean we don’t take dance seriously. It means our focus is on the dancer—not rankings, trophies, or being better than the person next to you.

We believe in hard work, high standards, discipline, and growth—while still making room for joy, creativity, mistakes, and being human.

Because we’re serious about dance.

We’re just not serious about making kids miserable.

This is dance rooted in joy.

This is dance built on belonging.

This is The School of Dance.

You Belong Here.

SO…WHO ARE WE? 💛

We’re The School of Dance.

But we’re not just a place where you come to learn ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, breaking, acro, or contemporary.

We believe dance should be a place where you can be challenged without being compared.

Where you can work hard without feeling like you have to be perfect.

Where kids can make friends, build confidence, discover what they’re capable of, and—most importantly—feel like they belong.

We believe that when people are taught with love and belonging, everyone thrives.

That’s why our motto is simple:

YOU BELONG HERE.

Whether your dancer dreams of performing on a stage, wants to learn something new, needs a place to move and have fun, or simply wants to find their people…

There’s a place for you here.

Welcome to The School of Dance. 🫶

Happy people dance.

WERQ is a wildly addictive cardio dance workout based on a non-stop playlist of trending pop and hip hop music. Our mission is to create a judgement-free dance space built on good vibes, a great sweat, and a supportive community. The choreography is widely variable between songs, yet highly repetitive within songs, so you will catch on quickly, and never stop moving! No prior dance experience is necessary. Come as you are, and be ready to let your beautifully imperfect inner diva shine! Renee Bend teaches WERQ Dance Fitness, and is an ACE certified group fitness instructor. Beyond fitness, she is a geneticist, mother, wife, community builder, and lover of plants! Follow  on Instagram, and for more info check out https://www.werqfitness.com/

Class times include:
WERQ - Wednesdays 8am starting August 19th
