About the Dance Place
We want to provide students of all ages with the skills they need to enjoy dance for their lifetime.
We're currently celebrating our 25th year of providing top quality dance education, right here in Ocean City, New Jersey. Our school has continued to grow since we opened our doors in 1981. During this time we have had the joy of teaching more than 3000 local students in our studio. We dedicate ourselves to providing the very best instruction possible. Last year we expanded the school into a beautiful 2000 square foot building right in the center of town.
Our expanded class choices save time for busy families
Many parents choose our school because in addition to having excellent teachers and programs it is possible to schedule your child in multiple classes on the same day. Our school offers morning, afternoon and evening classes to accommodate more students “first choice” times. Between the pressures of homework, sports and family time, we know how overwhelming it can be to fit in all those activities.
Our new staff
We handle students from 2-year-old beginners to advanced level, and have a newly enlarged staff to offer all of our students the ability to work with a teacher that best meets their needs.
Large variety of classes
We offer a large diversity of classes including tap, jazz, ballet, modern, acrobatics, hip-hop and preschool dance. Our focus is on helping our students gain the skills they need to enjoy dance long after their dance lessons are completed.
Our facilities offer even more benefits
One of the most import features of a dance studio is the type of flooring used. We use only Marley professional dance floors, which absorb the impact of dancing while allowing the dancer to slide, with a degree of controlled slip. However, the floor itself is not slippery, so it also reduces the risk of falls and injury. We have floor to ceiling mirrors so students can easily monitor their own movements. The studio is also air conditioned for the students comfort. Our convenient central location makes getting to and from the school a breeze.
Hassle-free recitals
In order to offer the best dance experience we can for parents as well as their students, we completely handle the recital process from beginning to end. Parents get to sit in a special VIP seating area during recital. Costumes are given out complete. We sew, alter and include all accessories and tights with costume.
