Dance for Joy offers professional training for aspiring dancers of all ages!

The studio is a second home for some of the students attending, and it is our goal to create a safe and friendly atmosphere while inspiring and challenging the students in the art of dance. The studio isn’t just a place where children and adults learn a dance; it is where they learn how to dance. This is what sets Dance for Joy a part from other dance studios.  The end of the year showcase, not to be confused with the “Recital”, is an option for all students enrolled at DFJ. The show is rehearsed separate from the student’s weekly technique classes. This allows for students to take full advantage of their dance training.

At Dance For Joy we believe it is important to focus on the stable foundations of Classical Ballet.  It is the most important ingredient in producing a strong, well rounded and disciplined dancer.  From this foundation we can build on all forms of dance including jazz, lyrical, modern and tap. 

All of the faculty at Dance For Joy are highly trained and certified dance teachers who have dedicated most of their lives to the discipline of dance.  Each teacher takes a special pride in passing on their knowledge, experiences and passion for dance to each student at DFJ.

“I’ve had so many amazing and inspiring dance teachers in my life that have left me with a deep understanding of my own body.  This connection is what dance is all about.  The mind and body connection is what makes dance so addicting.  To be able to define and interpret a thought, feeling, song, or even silence with movement, is the most honest form of expression I have ever experienced.  The body becomes our finely tuned instrument, and what other instrument could possibly be so beautiful?  This is what I hope to teach and instill in each student that walks through my studio doors.” ~Kimberly Kunkel- Director of DFJ
