Dance Studio

Amazing place for kids to dance

A very special place to explore or develop your moves and musicality.

The Dance Studio has been teaching students for 35 years in Whatcom County. We had 3 students audition and were accepted in Jeoffrey Ballet this summer, 2013. We have traveled to Australia 5 different times performing, once to Japan and this summer 8 students are traveling to Finland to perform. Besides the Spring Performance every year at the Mt. Baker Theatre, Brittany Setter (owner/director), has written a Christmas Program - 'Saving Christmas Town' which is performed in December, 4-5 productions at Bellingham High School. A great ballet based studio where students take tap, hip hop, jazz, musical theater, adagio, pointe and are well rounded in their dance experiences. Thousands of children have passed thru our studio over the years and many have gone on to professional dance companies. The Dance Studio offers the Best Dance Experience in Bellingham.

Diamonds. Amazing room. Great instruction.

Backstage Dance studio is my true home, I have met many people here and they have helped form who I am. Here, you can let go of all stereotypes and just hug any drama you are having out! while this year was my last, Backstage and its vast, loving community will always be near my heart Shout out to: Ella, Sejal, Chisako, Angie, Allise, Amy, Erin, Natalia, Kathryn, Gabe, Mimi, Maya, Chelsea, Rhonda, Marty, Jen, Stephanie, Grant, Mike, Kelly and everyone else that was close to me!

Nice place, very cool professors, unpretentious. I don't feel like I'm auditioning for a show or professional company when I'm here.

This is a great dance studio. I was only there for an audition but the folks in charge really worked quickly and effectively to accommodate everyone get through fast.

Belltown Dance Studio iS by far the best place in Seattle to learn Salsa, Bachata or Zouk. The owner Jim is incredibly motivated and teaches with precision and attention to detail. He also has original and creative moves and will help you to understand to get your dance right! Music is also fantastic! Highly highly recommended!!!

Excellent instructors, wonderful students, amazing dance experience!!!

Joel turned us from roller skaters to disco dancers, all in a matter of just a few lessons! He helped us prepare for our first dance at our wedding, providing slick moves, honest feedback and helpful metaphors.

They can't tell you the full price when you call and ask. And then when you get their you are charged extra. They have horrible customer service. My daughter got scolded over an outfit when they could have nicely told her once she couldnt practice. They called me over the outfit issue told me about 3-4 times over the phone. I could tell my child was upset when picked her up. Then they proceeded to get after me again for the outfit when I picked her up. I shouldn't have even went that day and I would have saved my self a lot of attitude and grief. If you own A dance studio you still need to have some customer service. I was never treated poorly like this at prima school of dancing I went their for 6-7 years. I am very disgusted with the way we were treated from the get go, at this studio.

Our daughter loves dance and she can't wait to go back after summer. They also have amazing customer service.

Overall, I think this place seems okay. This past winter, my toddler had a ballet class and tap class right after. We had a nice ballet teacher. Dark brown hair...I think her name was...Laura? Very kind with the kids. Gentle and encouraging. The tap dance teacher, tall, dark, and lean...I think his name was...Savon? Or something similar. He was not so nice. I should've known since another mom had spoken about him about how her own kid was afraid of him. I kind of just brushed it off because I wanted to give him a chance. Well... It didn't take long for him to offend me. He asked me in front of the whole class (parents and kids) if my quiet, observant daughter "talks". That was rude. He could've asked me privately. It's kind of rude to ask a question like that and talk about a child in third person when they can hear you. Anyway, right after that, we missed class (both ballet and tap) for two weeks because I was sick one week and my toddler the next. The week after being sick, we finally made it back to Laurelhurst and as I'm sitting there, hanging out waiting for my toddler's ballet class to finish, he comes in and walks pass me, smirking directly at me and scoffing to boot. Why? Seriously why? Maybe he thought we dropped his class on purpose? Either way, I didn't feel comfortable staying for his class after so we left. Not a safe space for me when he's there.

It's rare to have a dance teacher who is simultaneously fun to learn from, loves to dance, and is a truly excellent teacher. Sarah is all of that and more. I've danced for over a decade and she's the finest teacher I've yet had. She has deep knowledge, has mastered multiple dance styles, and she's especially good at making dance easy for the beginner. She took me from ignorant to dancing a passable intermediate salsa in 3 hours. I highly and enthusiastically recommend her.

I am Nicole's friend and I laughed very hard when I saw that she wrote a review. I am a part of the performing company too.

Frida was great. This experience was totally outside my comfort zone and she did an amazing job. My wife and I will for sure be back to learn more!
