It was all
a dream.
When Directors Maddie and Melissa dreamed about their ideal teaching environment, they envisioned a space where young dancers received competitive, high quality dance training, from dance educated, certified and creative teachers without having to travel to a big city. Through networking and years of teaching, they made this dream a reality when Groove Studios was born.
Groove Studios is dedicated to helping strong and creative dancers achieve their collegiate and professional goals.
For elite level dancers chosen to dance competitively on behalf of Groove Studios as part of the Rise Dance Company. Commitments include 7-15 hours of rigorous weekly classes to ensure dancers continue to advance their skills. Small, company specific classes, ensure members work alongside peers who are equally as motivated and are comparable in technical skill.

Company
Pre- Company Program
Pre-Company dancers do not compete but will perform as part of our year-end showcase, can participate in community events throughout the season and are invited to join their company counterparts at select conventions.
Pre-company dancers of all levels must take a minimum of 3 hours of class per week. This allows us to offer promising young dancers a challenging curriculum that will build a strong technical foundation, and confidence to successfully dance competitively in the future if they choose to. Dancers are evaluated throughout the year for consideration to join company.
Check out our schedule.
Pre-Dance Program
Where young dancers, up to age 6, explore creative movement, ballet, tap and tumble. There is no minimum number of class hours, but we offer many choices to keep things fun and engaging.
A mommy and me class is available for children who are still in diapers or may require a little more help during class.
Students will be given the opportunity to participate in year end recital along with pre-company and company dancers.
See available classes here.
Workshops & Intensives
Throughout the year, we’ll invite professional dance, theater and voice experts from around the world to offer intensives and workshops within our studio. This will diversify education and help students go deep on technique.
Sign-up will be opened to the students outside of our studio if we have openings after interested company and pre-company members have registered.
Bi-weekly Master Classes
These Wednesday classes will offer students bi-monthly opportunities to explore different genres of dance and access to professionals to diversify curriculum and improve their ability to quickly pick up choreography.
