Start where you are

There is no wrong place to begin.

Some students arrive ready to perform. Others are still deciding whether they love ballet lines, tap rhythms, powerful jazz movement, theatrical storytelling, or the thrill of acrobatics.

Our role is not to make every dancer the same. It is to discover what makes each student light up, and give them the technique, encouragement, and room to grow.

From our studio family

Why families call Badon home.

The strongest measure of a studio is what dancers and families experience over time. These are their words.

This studio is more than a dance studio; it is a second home to many of us dancers. This studio strives to build a team of dancers who truly care and support one another. The teachers are exceptional and challenge the dancers to push themselves to their full potential.

Veronica GarciaBadon Dance family

My daughter has taken dance here since she turned 2 years old. This is our 11th year with the studio. Since beginning baby ballet and acro, our girl is now in every class available. I personally love the focus on strength and toning. Knowing that the instructors are certified through Dance Masters of America demonstrates the care and integrity they put into the sport of dance. We have been very pleased with the advancements through the growth of the studio. It feels like a small community and everyone is cheering for your dancer’s success. We are so proud to be a part of our studio’s team and look forward to watching them continue to flourish.

Bree DauteriveBadon Dance parent

My daughter has been taught and coached by the owners and staff of Badon Dance School for well over a decade now. What started out as an after-school hobby has turned into a passion for the art of dance. My daughter pours her entire heart and soul into dance, and her instructors match that dedication each and every day. They encourage all of their students to strive for success in all aspects of life, and make every dancer feel seen and appreciated. The students learn more than just dance steps in class; they learn life lessons, problem solving, teamwork, and make memories that last forever. The valuable investment we have made for our daughter to attend this dance school has been well-spent.

A legacy in motion

Built by generations of dancers.

For decades, students have entered the studio to learn, and many have returned as instructors, mentors, choreographers, and leaders.

That connection between past and present gives today’s dancers something special: teachers who understand what it means to grow up as part of the Badon family.
