Dance Conservatory Seattle

I love DCS and the instructors. It's been a breath of fresh air to find a space that offers thoughtful instruction, and is welcoming and supportive - no matter who you are or where you're at in your dance journey. Thank you DCS!

The best dance studio ever. I have had amazing experiences and fantastic teachers. If you’re curious about learning ballet you will get the best instruction and at the same time feel so great about being in class. The floor is awesome and the space is really gigantic. I am so grateful for this dance studio.

Best adult ballet class I’ve ever taken. The combinations are sophisticated, progress through the class, are highly musical and encourage use of momentum. The corrections are specific, executable and high impact. I think most importantly the atmosphere is one of strong emotional safety and humor, which encourages growth and regular attendance. You are genuinely taken seriously and met wherever you are in your dance journey, regardless of previous training, current capabilities or identity.

I’ve been dancing all my life and since Covid have struggled to find a dance school that offered true intermediate/advanced classes for adults. Their classes are fun, upbeat, and challenging.

Josh, Chris, and Sierra are a wonderful group of people who have created a space for new and returning dancers of all ages to come together and practice their art. Thank you for creating Dance Conservatory Seattle!

DCS is more than just an outstanding, professional, yet inclusive, studio - it is a wonderful, supportive community. I am so grateful to have been referred, and for the South end location! A weekend is not a weekend without Saturday morning class :)!! They have adult class offerings every day of the week but Sunday, and the instructors are absolutely amazing!! Love this place!!

Josh and Chris are the most amazing, dedicated teachers for all ages! They provide a safe and welcoming environment that encourages dancers to achieve technique, artistry, and the joy to dance. The 1 and 1/2 hour adult ballet classes are the best of the best and so worth driving from Olympia to get to class! Sierra is also a magnificent teacher and lovely person. I would encourage any parent to send their children to DCS for ballet training. They will grow into dedicated and compassionate humans.

DCS was one of the first places I came to take ballet class after over a decade away from dance, and I can confidently say that the atmosphere Chris & Josh have cultivated is the reason I am as passionate for ballet as I was as a student. The inclusivity, quality of instruction, and lack of toxicity makes this a safe space for anyone who wants to pursue dance and movement. Namely, with the surge of Adult Ballet, DCS has created multiple accessible classes for anyone to enjoy dance, no matter if you are a professional, or getting into your first ballet class! Love this space, love the people, love Josh & Chris!
