About

For more than 9 years, Saint Pete Dance Center has served the St. Pete and Tampa Bay community, providing an environment where every dancer is seen, valued, and encouraged to grow.

The studio builds strong technical dancers and, just as importantly, confident, kind and resilient young people. Whether a child is taking their very first dance class or pursuing their biggest performance goals, SPDC offers a positive foundation for beginners alongside comprehensive training for intermediate, advanced and pre-professional students, led by faculty with extensive training and industry experience.

We offer a wide range of recreational classes designed to build strong technique and a love for dance. From jazz, tap, hip hop, contemporary, lyrical, ballet, acro, and musical theater, to leaps & turns, and conditioning & stretch classes, there’s something for every interest and skill level. We also offer specialty programs like Tiny Twos, Preschool, KinderCombo, and Tiny Tumblers to give our youngest dancers the perfect introduction to movement and music.

Early childhood — Our early childhood dance program is the perfect way to introduce your little one to movement, music, and creativity. These classes are designed to build confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of dance.

Level 1 and 2 — Level 1 is designed for beginners with little to no dance experience, introducing basic technique while boosting confidence and coordination. Level 2 is for dancers with previous experience, building on foundational skills while exploring new styles and improving technique. Class placement is based on both age and skill level.

PreTeen and Teen — Specially designed for dancers who are just starting their dance journey or have limited experience. Whether it’s their first time in the studio or they’re returning after a break, this level focuses on beginner-friendly technique, movement basics, and building a strong foundation. Dancers can explore Ballet, Lyrical, Jazz, and Tap. No prior experience needed.

Level 3 and 4 — As dancers grow in strength and experience, they are offered a wide variety of styles to develop into well-rounded performers. Level 3 dancers continue to refine their technique across all dance styles, challenged with more complex choreography, stronger performance quality, and advanced movement combinations, focusing on precision, stamina, flexibility, and artistry. Level 4 is designed for advanced dancers ready to polish their technical skills and artistry at the highest level, with emphasis on strength, versatility, and stage presence.
