Top Dance schools in Bend, United States

We absolutely loved the Me and my grown-up class at the dance method! My kiddo had so much fun and it was so great to get to participate and meet the other moms as well. We loved that they had a separate room for activities and split the time between dancing and songs and the activity room. It was a great touch that we haven’t seen anywhere else. Ms Lauren was fantastic with the little ones and made us both feel so comfortable!

My daughter has been going here for a few years and it’s amazing! The teachers are great and the owners are amazing as well!

I love TDC while having fun I'm still getting pushed to my full potential.

I went to Travis with zero dance experience and very high hopes of creating a beautiful father daughter dance for my wedding. He was very professional, and not only gave my dad and I an amazing waltz and foxtrot, but also has really helped me become a dancer!

Best dance studio in Central Oregon!

Absolutely amazing dance studio here in Bend, Oregon. The instructors, owners and anyone else who is ever involved is always doing an amazing job and are always respectful and courteous. Some good folks!

Our family loves Iconic! These instructors have many years of experience in the industry and finally opened their very own studio! We were so happy to join them and be a part of the new up coming studio in Bend OR! They care deeply about each dancer and they really do feel like a family. I highly recommend this studio! Kelly and Walt are awesome!

The best thing Bend has to offer as far as dance goes!!! This is NOT your ordinary dance studio you are signing up for, you are gaining an entire family and support system to learn and grow with through your child’s dance experience! From rec classes to competitive dance, lyrical to hip hop, you will find what you are looking for here!

I have been in the field of dance in one way or the other for over 50 years, as a student, choreographer, professional performer, studio owner, teacher and more. I have dealt with other Bend dance studio's and staff. Here's the difference, while most other studio's focus their goals on reaching paramount profits, the owners/teachers at Iconic focus on giving dancers (any age and skill level) the experience of learning the art of dance and loving it. YES, they produce amazing dancers who win numerous awards but they also produce healthy, confident, happy human beings who know what team work and commitment are all about. If you want what's best for your child, let them learn how ICONIC they can be. This place has the best teachers in Bend hands down!

As much as Iconic is a dance studio, it’s one big family. I’ve built connections that have lasted years & have many people in my life now that I can’t live without. The choreography has been my favorite & is always broken down really well. If you’re new to Bend & looking for a studio, you’ve found your place.

Great teachers, great HUMANS. Walt and Kelly are incredible people and have so much to offer in this space. I would recommend for anyone looking to get into exploring movement.

They have created such a fun space for everyone to explore their full potential as dancers. They have the experience and the skills to take your dancing to the next level.

This is a new studio but not new instructors. The instructors are amazing and talented. My daughter is so excited to be a part of this new elite studio. It's a fun but structured environment.

My two daughters absolutely loved going to ABC! We loved all the teachers there, and they have fun performance opportunities and great communication to create such a welcoming community. ABC was a big part of cultivating and nurturing the love of dance in our girls❤️

Travis awesome. Super careful with Covid19 and one of the only safe places to dance right now. It is our sanity station in the midst of this chaos. Also Travis is an excellent teacher. I am no longer terrified to get on a dance floor.

Love Miss Shannon!!!!! She’s patient and kind yet keeps the kids in line. Can’t wait for my boy to do Hip-Hop this fall.

Had a great time at my firsr class today

amazing hiphop classes very sweet instucter

We booked a package of lessons with Travis to prepare for our wedding. He was excellent; a lot of fun, very encouraging, and helped my fiancé overcome his fear of dancing! We felt confident when we walked out in front of the crowd at our wedding for our first dance, and wowed everyone with some not-too-shabby waltzing. The lessons were fun, he made us feel confident, and we highly recommend him!

I Love this dance studio! The owner, Dakota, is amazing! I just wish they'd post that cool commercial on their website :)

Lots of learning and lots of fun AT THE SAME TIME!!!

I can not thank the teachers and director of this school enough!! Since taking the plunge into the world of dance I have seen my daughter grow and is continually surprising me with her new achievements. The staff is warm and friendly, they genuinely care about the families who attend the school ( I say families because once you enroll one child you will want to enroll your others as well!!) Valerie is one of the most giving people I have ever met, she has a huge heart and wants nothing more than to help enrich the lives of her students, in addition her teachers are among some of the most accomplished people I have ever met, they are tallented and educated! I can not recommend this studio more!

I love it here!!!

My daughter has been at ABC for two years. I know that it's important that children develop a love for their art/have an enjoyable time/be healthy while also learning a lot. All are important to their developing sense of themselves and the world. At ABC, she's had this experience with each instructor and the children around her. It's developed/continued a love for the art, she's had a lovely time in a healthy and skilled environment. We've loved it!

ABC is a family of talented and committed individuals. I grew up dancing there and I am so grateful for the experience. The teachers. Ms. Val and Ms. Alesa have prepared me for a future in dance through professional training and encouragements. You are expected to work hard at the studio, but you will receive some of the best training at Academie de Ballet Classique in all of Central Oregon if you put forth the effort.

ABC is the most welcoming and accommodating studio I have tried, and I have danced at many studios in my life. They are warm and friendly, with constructive help at excelling in dance, no matter if a toddler or an adult trying dance for the first time, or advanced students. The training is consistent and challenging, and the teachers do their best to help each student progress where they need to, without pushing them too far too soon. It is a positive dance environment for all, without judgment. Students will feel like they can try new things and dance their heart out without fear of not being "good enough." Very supportive, passionate, qualified owner and teachers at this studio! The only negative is a lack of organization with scheduling, communication, and small details here and there. But they try their best to serve the community equally! Also, ABC productions are beautiful and entertaining!!! Valerie Holgers has a huge heart for people, and it shows.

Certainly it's the best dance company we've ever been involved with, (and we've been to 3 different ones over my daughter's infatuation with dance). We recently moved about a half an hour from Bend and my schedule has made it so that I can't nail down enough time to take her all the way to ABC and she doesn't want to go anywhere else. Hmmm... it's a toughie. She even tried another ballet school near where we are and definitely prefers ABC. It's the caring atmosphere and level of training that Valerie and all of her teachers give, it's amazing. The shows they put on are ridiculously good too! We'll be back... just got to get the schedule situated. Love to everyone over there! We miss you!

"This dance studio is amazing and the teachers are so nice and very dedicated."

I go here its the bomb

I've know Valerie for several years through my daughter who has taken lessons from her and others at her studio and received exceptional ballet training. My daughter still attends her classes whenever she is in town. I, as an adult, have enjoyed taking classes from Valerie for fun and exercise. She is a terrific person, knowledgeable teacher and excels in whatever she does, including teaching and performance productions. Academie de Ballet Classique deserves a 5 Star rating!

Academie de Ballet Classique is such a wonderful place to learn valuable technique, important skills, and an undeniable love for dance. Valerie and the other teachers there gave me exactly what I needed to get launched as a professional dancer.
It is a very safe environment, and everyone there is very supportive!

Great studio!
