The Dance Centre opened in 1999 and we are excited to be celebrating our 24th Season serving Williamsburg, KY and surrounding areas.

We offer Princess Ballerina Classes for ages 2-6 that feature fresh and fun themes that change monthly.
Our Leveled Dance Classes for ages 7 and up include Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Pointe, and Technique.
Our Acro and Gymnastics program is for ages 2 and up and focuses on strength, flexibility, and tumbling.
We also offer special sessions for Adults throughout the year as well as our weekly Adult Combo Dance class.
We are committed to providing a positive experience for everyone, whether it is your first year, or your tenth year with us.
Our mission is to provide quality dance, acro and gymnastics training in a positive, nurturing, and fun environment. We work hard to give our students and their families a great experience.
Our students learn essential life skills like teamwork and respect and strive to make your time with us a memorable one that will help our students both on and off the dance floor or the gymnastics mats.
“I first enrolled Sophie at The Dance Centre because I wanted her to experience an organized activity with children her age to help her get ready for preschool. I also wanted to give her an opportunity to explore dance to see if she liked it. I work with several ladies whose children attend classes at The Dance Centre and they all highly recommended it.
Sophie loves her classes and performing in Holidazzle and the Spring Recital. We have had a wonderful experience at The Dance Centre. The scheduling for classes and performances are always posted and shared far enough in advance to plan for them. Classes start promptly and everything is very organized. More importantly, however, is the staff that truly makes The Dance Centre special. All of Sophie’s intructors have been warm, welcoming, and patient with the students. I feel they go above and beyond to make their students and families happy, and most of all, to make dancing fun!
