Dance City & the Arts is the recipient of the ADCC 2018 & 2019 STUDIO OF EXCELLENCE AWARD!

Winner for the 2021 Best of Southington Awards in the Category of Dance School


This Is Dance City!


One of the key components in a dance facility is attention to detail. At Dance City & the Arts, much attention is paid to the facilities in which students dance. As the dance program covers everyone from three years old to adults, the floor is extremely important. The hardwood floors on the second floor of this former factory were built with absolutely no cement sub-flooring, allowing the floors to float.

The proper flooring allows students and teachers to dance for longer periods of time without fatigue or injury. The cathedral ceilings and 40 windows add to the ambience.There are three viewing monitors in the lobby for parents to view their children in class

Dance City & the Arts is a state-of-the-art 5,000 square feet facility with three dance studios under the same roof, with the largest being the size of a stage, as well as two medium-sized studios. Dance City & the Arts caters to both recreational and professional students, and has professional, friendly office staff trained in customer service and specializing in dance studio preparations. Dance City & the Arts is a modern, vibrant facility with innovative teaching concepts.

Rebecca Kohl

My daughter has been part of the DCA family for 10 years and it has been a wonderful experience! Through the years my daughter’s passion for dance has grown immensely. She dances 6 days a week for 2-3 hours a day, participates on the dance team, assists with teaching classes and LOVES every minute of it. Competition team has strengthened my daughter’s technique and love for the dance. All of the dance teachers are creative, talented, enthusiastic and encouraging. The atmosphere is very welcoming from the office staff, teachers and director to the many wonderful families here at DCA.
