Founded in 1986, our first years were spent inside a cozy old firehouse on Snelling Ave. Word about the new studio traveled quickly, and our dance family grew and grew; owner and founder Marcy McHenry (a professional dancer herself) began dreaming of a larger floor to quickstep on. In 2010, her vision became reality, and Dancers Studio moved six blocks up the street to a gorgeous new space – where it remains to this day.
Some things haven’t changed, though. We remain committed to excellence, both on and off the dance floor. Our instructors are personally interested in each and every one of their students, and have the knowledge and experience to help meet a variety of dance goals; our outgoing and friendly administrative team is always around to greet clients, answer questions, and schedule lessons.

Our Mission
To set the standard of excellence in education among dance instructors in order to promote technique and progression in Acrobatic Dance
Acrobatic Arts
The Acrobatic Arts program provides easy progressions for dance teachers to follow, taking the guess work out of offering acro dance by providing step by step instructions for every level. Acrobatic Arts starts at the very beginning, we teach instructors everything they need to know about proper placement and technique so their students will have the building blocks to progress safely and quickly from one level to the next. Acrobatic Arts Teacher Training and Certification courses provide extensive, hands-on training in spotting and progression so teachers leave feeling knowledgeable, confident and inspired to teach acro dance. Studios who continue with Acrobatic Arts Exams for their students will have continuous support, with adjudicator meetings offering feedback and suggestions to improve the studio's acro program annually.
Benefits
Dancers who train through Acrobatic Arts have balanced development, are stronger, more flexible and fearless. Studios that implement this program will see dancers with more skills, who have fewer accidents, and are less likely to develop chronic injuries.
