August Highlights from The Dancing House

🎒✨ It’s Back to School Week! ✨🎒

Good luck to all our students and families as you kick off a brand-new school year! We know this season comes with all the feels—excitement, nerves, new schedules, and a whole lot of adjusting. At TDH, we want you to know that we see you, we understand, and we’re here to support you.

That’s why we make it easy to keep dance a joyful, stress-free part of your child’s week. If life happens—whether it’s a school conflict, illness, or just needing a breather—you can make up any missed class at any time during the year. 💜

Because at The Dancing House, our goal is simple: to be a happy place where your dancer (and you!) feel uplifted, encouraged, and ready to shine—inside and outside the studio.


This past week we officially launched into our 17th season at The Dancing House—and WOW, what a start! ✨ Our dancers are stepping into the year with more determination than ever, our competition program is growing and will travel to four different events this season, and our recreational classes are welcoming some of the most wonderful new families into our community. It’s clear that TDH is growing up in every way—bigger dreams, stronger dancers, and even more connection.

Our last blog went "viral!"

August 9, 2025

The last blog we shared was about our big move—and I continue to be overwhelmed by the love, encouragement, and offers to help as we transition into our new home at 451 Stageline Road. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

Our first week of classes is scheduled to begin September 8. If anything changes, you’ll be the very first to know. Our six-week sessions kick off on September 15, and by then we’ll have the kinks worked out so we can welcome both our youngest and our most seasoned dancers with grace and ease.

We cannot wait to open our doors, show you our new space, and continue making The Dancing House “The Highlight of Your Week!”

We do have classes available for you to join and participate it, but we also are open to customizing a program for you.  Please email melissa@thedancinghouse.com to set up a time to connect. 

Classes are currently offered during the day for families looking for music and physical activity for their kiddos.  

Fridays - 10:00-10:30 Music and Movement for ages 2-5yr.  This is a great introductory class to musicality and body awareness. Class is singing, dancing, and lots of creative fun!  This is a parent-child class IF that child is not ready to be on their own. 

Fridays, 10:30-11:15, is a Tap and Tumble class for ages 3-5yr. This class is more structured and helps students discover how to move up and down the body separately, as well as the right side and left side, front and back. Students sing and develop their rhythm and understanding of music phrasing. Students will also explore large motor skills on the mats with creative stretching and tumbling skills that are age-appropriate. 


Our popular six week sessions start the week of September 15th! 

Our kiddos classes are highlighted quite a bit, but let's not forget about our amazing adults!

Make Wellness


Being a strong dancer isn’t just about what happens in the studio—it’s about how you take care of yourself outside of class. Recovery, energy, focus, and resilience are all part of becoming the best version of yourself on the dance floor.

That’s why taking care of yourself is non-negotiable. As training gets tougher and schedules get busier, fueling your body and mind the right way makes all the difference.

Enter MAKE Wellness—a game-changer for dancers who want to thrive. These clean, science-backed supplements support strength, focus, and energy so you can leap higher, kick sharper, and perform with confidence. With powerful ingredients and a commitment to transparency, MAKE Wellness helps dancers feel unstoppable—on stage and off.

Because the truth is: strong dancers take care of themselves, inside and out.

"Always fabulous technique classes! Melissa and her staff dance along with the students and meet each dancer where they are at. No one gets lost in the “shuffle!” My daughters dance on competition lines at other studios, but love The Dancing House for the flexibility of their summer pass. They are able to spend the summer improving skills, and learning how to take new risks without injury."
