2026 August Highlights at The Dancing House

August 2026

 Your GO TO Spot for ALL Things at TDH! 

(please share with your favorite people!)

  • 2026-2027 Season Launches August 10th

  • Open House is Coming up Soon

  • Our First Fall 6-Week Session Starts Sept. 14th

Welcome Home.

As I write this, I'm sitting in the picture window at Hummingbird Estates, looking out over the gardens. This past weekend we added a fountain in the “pool” as my partner calls it, and as if on cue, a hummingbird just flew by.

It felt like the perfect reminder of why this place exists.

The Dancing House began in my basement 18 years ago. It wasn't about building a big studio. It was about creating a place where people feel seen, known, and encouraged. Today that dream has grown into Hummingbird Estates, but the heart behind it hasn't changed one bit.

When you walk through our doors, you're not walking into just another dance studio. You're walking into a community.

The friendships built here often last far beyond the dance floor. Some of my closest friendships were formed while cheering from football bleachers, sitting at hockey rinks, or watching dance rehearsals. There's something special that happens when families do life together, and that's exactly what we hope you'll experience here.

That's also why we've intentionally stayed a boutique studio. Smaller classes mean we know your name. We celebrate your victories, encourage you through challenges, and create space for genuine relationships to grow, not just between teachers and students, but between families as well.

So if you're new this season, introduce yourself. Say hello to another parent in the lobby. Cheer for a dancer you may not know yet. Whether you're here for a free trial, a six-week session, or the next six years, you are welcome here.

I once heard someone say, "The moment you make your business public, it stops being your business. It becomes your clients' business." That has stayed with me ever since. The Dancing House is what it is because of you. Thank you for trusting us. With your student, with your time, your friendships, and your family traditions.

We are so grateful you're part of this story.

Welcome to our 18th season. We can't wait to see you at Open House this Thursday and in the studio next week.

Welcome Home!


You're Invited to Our 18th Season Kickoff Celebration!

Open House (1)

It's hard to believe, but The Dancing House is celebrating 18 seasons of helping students grow into kind, confident, life-ready humans through the art of dance. We couldn't have reached this milestone without the incredible families who have trusted us to be part of their children's journey, and we'd love to celebrate with you!

Join us on Thursday, August 6, from 4:00–6:00 PM at 451 Stageline Road in Hudson for an evening of fun, connection, and community. Whether you're a returning family or just getting to know The Dancing House, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet our dance instructors, tour the studio, reconnect with friends, and get excited for the season ahead.

We'll have a taco bar (our treat!), a bounce house, a family scavenger hunt with prizes, and dancers can even get measured for costumes while they're here. It's the perfect way to kick off another amazing year together.

To help us plan for food and activities, we'd appreciate it if you could RSVP using the Google Form below. We can't wait to welcome you, celebrate 18 incredible seasons, and make this year's kickoff one to remember!

RSVP Here So we have enough food!!


TDH 2026-2027 Season is Launching August 10th!

Join us in our 18th season! Whether your dancer is looking for ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, pom & kick or hip hop. We offer classes from beginner through advanced, all designed with intention, care, and real growth in mind.

But here’s what makes us different…

We are a boutique studio by design.
That means:
💛 Small class sizes (most average around 6 dancers)
💛 Hands-on, personalized instruction
💛 Developmentally appropriate training
💛 And a place where your student is truly seen

You’re not just a number here.
We know your dancer. We know your family. We celebrate the little things, and the big ones too.

This is where confidence is built.
This is where friendships grow.
This is where dancers become kind, capable humans.

If you’ve been thinking about it… this is your moment. Because once those spots are gone, they’re gone.

Come see why so many families say, “this just feels different.”

Our Next 6-Week Session begins September 14th! 

Whether your little one is twirling into the studio for the very first time or eagerly returning to a class they already love, our upcoming 6-week dance sessions are designed with young dancers in mind!

We offer classes for children ages 2–7, with both daytime and evening options to fit your family's schedule. And we're especially excited to continue our new combo class for 5–7-year-olds, which was a huge hit this summer! It's the perfect way for dancers to experience multiple styles while building confidence, coordination, and a love of movement.

Our short 6-week sessions are a great way to:

  • Try a new dance style without a long-term commitment.

  • Keep your child active and engaged.

  • Build skills while having fun.

  • Explore what your dancer enjoys most before choosing future classes.

A Stress-Free Enrollment Bonus

One of our favorite perks is our VIP Enrollment Program!

When you register for a class, you'll automatically be enrolled in the next 6-week session. That means no more setting reminders or worrying about your child's spot being taken when registration opens.

If your family decides not to continue, no problem! Simply complete our quick exit form before the next session begins.

It's an easy, hassle-free way to keep your dancer moving while giving parents one less thing to remember.

Adult Dance Classes: More Than Just Dance

Adult Classes

At The Dancing House, our adult classes are about so much more than learning steps. They're about saying "yes" to yourself. They're about stepping away from the to-do list, trying something new, moving your body, challenging your mind, and rediscovering the joy that comes from simply having fun.

What surprises many of our adult dancers is the community they find along the way. We laugh just as much as we dance. We celebrate new grandbabies, rally around one another through difficult diagnoses, mourn losses together, and cheer each other on through every season of life. Week after week, friendships are built that extend far beyond the dance floor.

Whether you've danced your entire life or have always wanted to try, you'll find a welcoming place here. No pressure. No judgment. Just movement, music, laughter, and a community that's excited to have you.

Our next six-week session begins September 14!

Adult Class Schedule

  • Tappy Tuesdays – Tuesdays at 12:00 PM

  • Tendus & Tea (Ballet) – Tuesdays at 1:00 PM (perfect for active adults and seniors)

  • Adult Tap – Wednesdays from 7:15 PM

  • Adult Hip Hop – Thursdays at 6:00 PM

  • Adult Lyrical/Jazz- Thursdays at 7:00PM

All classes are 6 weeks for $124, and with our flexible makeup policy, you never have to miss out if life gets busy.

Ready to give it a try? We'd love to welcome you! Email hello@thedancinghouse.com to learn more or schedule your FREE trial class.


Is Your Dancer Wanting More? 

Consider private lessons.  They are a great way to double down on the work they learn in class and go further faster.  Work on technique, focus on turns or leaps or clean that solo for competition!  You'll leave the studio stronger and even more confident!
And private lessons are available at any age!

Why We Partner With Local Businesses

Preferred Partner

There is a student at The Dancing House who absolutely loves ballet.

She shows up eager to learn, works hard in class, and has the kind of determination that teachers notice right away. Like many families, however, life isn't always simple. Circumstances outside of dance sometimes make consistent participation challenging.

Because of our scholarship fund and community partners, we've been able to ensure that this student continues dancing, even during seasons when it may not have been financially possible. We've been able to hold her place in class, provide tuition assistance, and most importantly, keep her connected to a community where she belongs.

And she's not the only one.

Every year, we meet students with incredible potential and a genuine desire to dance, but summer classes, additional training opportunities, or even regular tuition may not fit within the family budget. Through the generosity of our sponsors, we're able to offer scholarships, provide extra classes to dedicated students who are eager to grow, and make sure dance remains accessible to children who need it most.

At The Dancing House, we believe dance is for everybody.

When local businesses partner with us, they're doing more than supporting a dance studio. They're investing in confidence, belonging, discipline, creativity, and opportunities for young people in our community. They're helping students stay connected to something they love.

In return, we work hard to support and promote the businesses that support us. We view our sponsors as true partners and are committed to helping them gain meaningful visibility within our community of families.

If you'd like to help make dance accessible to more students while growing awareness for your business, we'd love to partner with you.

 It didn’t take us long to realize this was the studio for us. Ms. Melissa is all around awesome and my young daughter loves dance class. I love that you can make up session if you get sick and don’t lose out. I also love the 6 week session that we could drop out or pause if needed. I doubt we will ever pause dance, but nice to know we can 😊
