WHO WE ARE
From your child's first steps to fouette turns, Dancing Through Life is the premier dance studio, of the Jersey Shore area. We offer ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theater, acrobatics, lyrical, contemporary, and flamenco. We are very involved in the Long Branch community, and our students have many opportunities to perform at community events. We produce our professional holiday show, L. B. Home for Christmas and our annual recital. We are a proud member of the Applaud Our Kids foundation, the Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey, and the Greater Long Branch Chamber of Commerce. We are the winner of the Next Generation Leader Award, through the Chamber of Commerce. We cannot wait to Dance Through Life with you!
We have created the Dancing Through Life curriculum, which unifies our classes and teachers. Every class at DTL follows our syllabi, goals, lesson plans, and playlists. This, not only, builds an excellent foundation for young dancers, but it makes classes fun and filled with traditions. Each year, we evaluate students and provide dancers and their parents with a personalized written evaluation and our recommendations for next year.
Our teachers are highly qualified with college degrees in dance and/or professional experience. Even our youngest dancers have a highly qualified teacher. We continue to learn and grow as teachers with courses and workshops.
Our "Marley" dance floor is cushioned and gives when landing from jumps and tumbling, saving joints from injuries.
When you pay tuition at Dancing Through Life, everything goes to support the arts. We rent our space from the New Jersey Repertory Company. We are working together with NJ Rep to provide our community with a high quality arts center.
We are more than just classes, Dancing Through Life is a family. Throughout the year, we hold parties and special events for dancers and their friends and families to socialize. We are very involved in our community and perform at events throughout the year. We have an audition-only dance company for serious students, and seasonal dance teams for recreational students.
