The programs they offer
“Over the years, I have heard countless parents and dancers praise Katie and the North Shore Dance Studio staff for the positive impact they have had on their children's lives.”
What families & students say
“The lessons I’ve learned here go far beyond technique and will stay with me long after my dance career ends.”
“Our daughter has not only developed confidence in herself but also has formed lifelong bonds with her dance teammates.”
“Neither Katie nor any member of the studio staff has knowledge of—or interest in—a dancer's family income, social status, or community influence.”
“Placement, opportunities, and team decisions are based on a dancer's skills, dedication, performance, and overall ability.”
“The teachers are professional and wonderful!”
“Our daughter has not only developed confidence in herself but also has formed lifelong bonds with her dance teammates.”
From the reviews
As the husband of the owner of North Shore Dance Studio, I would like to address two recent negative reviews posted by "Elizabeth" and "Mary." First, both reviewers chose to hide behind pseudonyms.
I have been in the dance community for 15 years and North Shore Dance Studio is one of the best studio environments I’ve been a part of. Katie is a dedicated, passionate and fair studio owner. The staff is positive and talented.
From a teacher and choreographer standpoint, Katie immediately welcomed me in with open arms. Not only Katie, but the whole studio (other staff, parents, students) never hesitated to make me feel like family. I have continuously felt loved, valued, and apart of something more special and bigger than myself.
I’ve been dancing at North Shore Dance Studio for almost my whole life, and it has truly been my second home. The teachers have challenged me, believed in me, and helped shape me into not only a stronger dancer but a stronger person.
Your first ballet class at North Shore Dance Studio
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.
