"Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom." ~ Friedrich Schiller

Voted #1 year after year ~ Newburyport Daily News "BEST OF" and Wicked Local's "READERS' CHOICE AWARDS" for best dance studio!
 

The Dance Place is a Newburyport dance studio where children and adults can indulge in  their love for dance!  Our non-competitive, nurturing environment allows dancers of any level and any age

to feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Adult Classes
Newburyport dance studio

Adults can drop in all year round for classes in Luigi Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Ballet, Tap, Zumba, &  African. Our Luigi instructors learned from the master himself and have vast knowledge of its subtleties and style; Ballet instructors gently teach the proper alignment and intricacies of this classical discipline; Contemporary teachers engage dancers with original, expressive movement. Zumba classes are full of energy and camaraderie. Tap is a study in rhythm and traditional patterns that have been passed down for years.

Children's Classes

Children's classes run during the school year and during summer intensives and workshops. The same philosophy goes for our children’s classes. It’s about the creative process, the love of movement and artistic expression, while learning the fundamentals of dance. Our Joppa Dance youth companies have the additional opportunity to perform throughout the year, attend master classes, mount their own pieces and tour the world! Auditions for Joppa are held every June.

Our treasured manager, Joppa director, teacher, and choreographer extraordinaire, Jen Steeves, will be leaving us for her new home in Florida.
