The American Dance Center's program serves the development of its students from their first encounter with music and movement to their emergence as knowledgeable dancers. The curriculum is carefully designed to introduce the correct technique and instruction appropriate for the age and physical development of the student. While many students may go on to pursue professional careers, the focus of the training is on the excellence and joy of dance at each level of achievement. Over ninety percent of our dance classes are ballet and each class is taught by a professionally experienced dance teacher. Every ballet class is capped to ensure each student receives the personal attention that is required to excel.

We recently started my daughter in one of the classes here. It's a pretty big school. They…read moreoccupy one whole side of a building. They span over about 6 spaces in the center on that one side. The staff and volunteers are so nice. My daughter enjoys her instructor, Ms Missy. They prorate your tuition if you get in after they've begun. You can even try a class to see if you like it before you enroll. They discourage parents hanging around and potentially distracting the class (with younger kids) but our night class has been great thus far. Since it's dark out, the kids can't really see the parents outside. They start my daughter's class off with tap shoes and then change over to ballet on the latter part of the class. Price is about par with other places around town but we chose it based on longevity and experience.

When our children were young, they attended birthday parties and open gym sessions at Elite…read moregymnastics. Our children also celebrated many of their own birthday parties at Elite gymnastics as well. Our son was coached by an excellent swim instructor - our son needed to get ready for his scout swimming test. The Elite instructor had earned his Eagle Scout rank and he was the absolute best advisor and coach our son could have ever needed! Our daughter's middle name is probably "Elite" - she started gymnastics at age 4 and now she is a senior in high school. She has been part of the Elite Gymnastics family all of her life. They are a second family to us in every way. I have taught youth for 28 years, and I confidently believe: This fantastic gymn has the best team of efficient and caring mentors our children needed. The coaches expect the children to excel and encourage them effectively. Our children developed strong self-esteem and self trust while attending Elite Gymnastics and Aquatics.

This is the best gym in town, the kids are in great hands. Phenomenal coaches, wouldn't go anywhere…read moreelse.

We believe that children have the right to learn creative movement through choreography and dancewear that are appropriate to their age and consistent with our goal of reinforcing a healthy sense of self in each child. We believe dance is an art that builds confidence through self-expression, not exploitation, and our teaching methods, costumes, and dance movements reflect this belief. Each and every child at The Studio brings a special gift and we celebrate all of them equally. A child will learn so much more than dance at The Studio. They will build character.

We visited the Blue Valley Rec Center for the first time a few weeks ago for a friend's child's…read morebirthday party. When I first parked and walked in I noticed that the building felt a bit dated. I do think it could benefit from a bit of a facelift, but the gymnastics area where the kids played during the party (while hitting me hard with 90s nostalgia) was super fun for the kiddos and kept them entertained for the hour or two they spent playing. I found the room for the party to be clean and well set up. It's nice that it's such a big room so you can accomodate a large group. I'm not sure if you can just take kids here to play for a fee or not, but if you can it might not be a bad place to explore on a cold or rainy day to get the wiggles out!

From the moment you walk…read morethrough the doors, you can feel the energy, professionalism, and genuine care that goes into everything they do. The owner and teachers here are not only incredibly talented dancers, but also amazing teachers who know how to bring the best out of every student. Whether it's a little one in their very first dance class or a teen perfecting their competition routine, every dancer gets the right balance of encouragement, discipline, and fun. One of the things we love most about JCDC is the sense of community. It's not just about dance--it's about teamwork, confidence, and building lifelong friendships. You can tell the dancers here are proud to be part of this studio, and that says a lot. If you're looking for a studio where your child will be challenged, supported, and inspired all at once, Johnson County Dance Center is the place. They don't just teach dance, they build strong, confident kids who love what they're doing.

I love that rehearsal and classes are during the week, which leaves the weekends for more family time...no 8 hour Saturday practice to work around. I did not grow up dancing so I went in blind, but the other parents and the teachers helped me to understand what is expected and how to navigate the competitive dance world. The teachers really focus on technique and not just trick after trick. I know my daughter is in good hands and I trust their judgement and guidance. If anyone is looking for a personal dance studio where you're more than just another face in the crowd I'd highly recommend JCDC!
