“DWSD offers growth opportunities which include a performing dance group, Christopher's Christmas as well as travel opportunities to dance overseas!”

From the reviews
I grew up dancing at Debbie Werbrouck's School of Dance (taking classes there from 4 years of age to 18 years). Until late middle school, dance was a hobby. It was fun, mentally stimulating, and kept me active.
Debbie Werbrouck's School of Dance is not only a top notch dance and music school but also became and has remained a major positive place in my life. The faculty is top notch from the office staff to the teachers. They offer Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, and Modern.
DWSD is great! My daughter's teachers are talented and creative, they foster a wonderful environment of collaboration, and encourage all of the students to push themselves to be better dancers in a supportive and safe way. Thank you!!
My daughter has been dancing at DWSD for 9 years. She loves the teachers, the friends she has made over the years, and the ability to learn many styles of dance. I have been very impressed with the strategies DWSD has used to keep my daughter safe during COVID.
Your first ballet class at Debbie Werbrouck School of Dance & Music
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
