We're more than a dance studio; we're a community. We grow together in an environment filled with smiles, hugs and laughter. Our mission is to instill a long-lasting love of dance in every student.
Dance is more than a physical activity - it's an art form that gifts our lives with a profound sense of personal fulfillment.
Our commitment is twofold: to maximize each student's abilities through quality instruction and to cultivate a love of dance at every skill level.
Our group classes feature a wide range of styles - ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop - for all ages and abilities so our dancers never stop growing.
We believe that dance is meant to be shared and celebrated, which is why we offer every student the performance opportunities of spring recitals and summer showcases.
We are delighted to offer a limited number of private lessons for students seeking personalized lessons to accelerate progress.
We're more than classmates here - we're friends, building bonds with one another that go beyond the studio and stage.

"It's really fun. I get to be with new friends and we're learning how to do trickier steps just right. Miss Shae and Miss Melanie always make class really fun" -Lydia, 5
"For the last 15 years I have danced with DanceMaineia! I have taken all sorts of classes, and in each I have had all sorts of fun. I learn, I laugh, I smile, and most importantly, I dance! The thing I love most about DanceMaineia is the teachers' passion for dance. In each class they are enthusiastic, present, and ready to teach! I have enjoyed my time here and plan to continue on." Elle, 19
"For almost 10 years I had wanted to join a dance class as an adult but felt too intimidated to do so. When I finally decided to pursue this dream, I called DanceMaineia and spoke with Melanie. She was warm and kind, and I immediately felt welcome over a 10-minute phone call. Over two years later I am so grateful I made that phone call! I’ve been taking ballet, jazz, and lyrical, both the adult classes and some classes with mixed ages, and it is by far the bright spot in my day when I know I have dance class to look forward to.
It has been life-changing working with all of the talented, experienced teachers as well as students of varying backgrounds and levels who are all so accepting and make the environment a fun, and safe one to express creativity and emotion through movement. Dance has become a creative outlet for me and DanceMaineia has given me the medium to express that which cannot be spoken and the ability to learn about myself in new ways while having so much fun.
DanceMaineia offers not only skilled instruction in various dance forms but also an incredible, inclusive community of people who enjoy coming together to share in this beautiful art form." -Katarina, 40
