Barriskill Dance Theatre School offers pre-school, ballet, musical theatre, jazz, tap, hip hop, and contemporary classes for students ages 2.5 to adult.

BDTS is committed to providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate dance and theatre education.  We provide a safe and child-centered environment in which our students can explore dance with qualified, nurturing teachers.

Dance education encompasses so much more than the dance technique we teach your children.  We believe the discipline of dance training gives young people a better understanding of commitment, the spirit of teamwork, and discovering what they can accomplish through hard work.  Our goal is to educate the minds, bodies, and souls of our students, teaching them the skills needed for a a successful life, whether or not they stay involved in dance.

We truly believe that by participating in challenging, developmentally appropriate dance classes in a nurturing environment, all children and adults can experience the sense of accomplishment and fun that comes with learning to dance.

The joy is in the journey!  We look forward to taking this journey with you and your family.
