Founded in December of 2008, Dancemakers mission is to provide the most cutting edge and up to date dance classes to aspiring Maine dancers. Since its inception, Dancemakers has earned the outstanding reputation of being one of the finest new institutions of dance education in Maine. Known throughout the state as a high end, elite training center for both recreational and aspiring professionals, D
ancemakers classes, instructors, and studio operations are specifically geared toward bringing local dancers and families a truly exceptional education and experience. The school's reputation, due in large part to its commitment to a fun and exciting atmosphere, while at the same time providing superior training, has directly resulted in an extraordinarily devoted following of aspiring dancers and families throughout the Greater Portland and Lakes Region areas. More than simply a “ballet company,” “tap studio,” or a “theatre school,” Dancemakers is not specialized in one dance form or another but rather, excels in all disciplines. Nowhere else in Maine can one student seek the most advanced in jazz, hip hop, contemporary, ballet, tumbling and more! Our children’s classes are taught with a curriculum to ensure progressive learning while at the same creating a fun an exciting atmosphere. Our teen and adult dancers are solid and well rounded because we excel in all forms of dance, from traditional disciplines to the newest trends. From east coast flair to west coast style, Dancemakers is the only studio where you can find both New York and L.A. Students are afforded the rare opportunity to work with an outstanding and highly qualified teaching faculty, all of which have real professional experience as a dancer or choreographer with national credits, or college graduates with degrees in dance education. Our instructors have a tremendous zest and passion for their art, which is immediately passed on to the student body. Always in step with the rest of the national dance community, our classes and styles are always changing and evolving, as it should be. Call or join us today, and experience the difference!
