Our classes are all non-competitive and cooperative. We teach teamwork, body awareness, body appreciation, and dance! All our teachers dress in appropriate attire for movement and select age-appropriate songs and costumes. It is our commitment to protect and nurture the students who walk into our studio.

All classes listed below are broken into age divisions to ensure the highest quality of dance education for your dancer. Please see the following lists of information and click the button to create an account and register for classes. If you need assistance, please email us at [email protected]

Additional Opportunities 
Level Up - All dancers ages 7 and up are invited to join the next level up for barre or warm-up (30-45 minutes of class) as long as those dancers are actively participating and not a distraction from the students enrolled in that class. Dancers taking advantage of this additional training should wear their level's dress code during class and participate regularly (this is a commitment of your time in exchange for the additional training opportunity)


** Pointe 1 is offered by teacher recommendation only. Dancers must be enrolled in Compose, Innovate, or Allegro Ballet programs to participate in pointe.

Lindsay -  I tell everyone that Durango Dance is the place for child-appropriate costumes and music

Tyler - This is a great dance studio for kids. Their passion is to teach dance for dances sake, not a competition.

Elizabeth - 
 thank you for everything you did for the recital. I thought it went so well and I was so proud of everyone. [my child] loved it and had so much fun and it was a great experience for her. I really enjoyed watching such an inclusive dance recital and loved the intention around everything to support each kid where they are. I also have to add that being in the audience, both my 2 and 4 year olds sat through the entire performance and was quiet and watched! I can’t believe how impressed I am with them and the dances and music keeping their attention for an entire 2 hours!
