Lyrical and Contemporary

Our Focus is Proper Technique.
Teaching smaller dance classes was necessary when Catherine’s Dance Studio first began, and it remains the driving reason why Catherine’s students are making their high school and college dance teams. The instructors see and guide every foot, every turn of the wrist, and even every gesture. Our smaller class sizes allow our students to learn, practice, and memorize proper techniques from the beginning. All instructors believe that proper technique is a foundation for better dancing.
A student with proper technique will learn and grow more as a dancer, which translates into high self-confidence as a dancer and young woman.

Catherine’s Dance Studio is hands down the best studio around! Catherine, Judy and all the dance teachers are the most caring people! My oldest daughter has been dancing there for 7 years and has loved every minute of it. I highly recommend Catherine’s to anyone who is looking for a studio!

August 15, 2023This is my daughters first year of dance and i couldn't have picked a better place for her to learn to dance. She tells me every Wednesday when she is done that she loves it and and looks forward to it. She also told me she wants to keep dancing as long as she can. I personal love the staff there classes are small and the teachers are great with the kids.

August 15, 2017We absolutely love Catherine’s Dance Studio. My daughter has been dancing there since she was 2 1/2, she’s 11 now. Since she’s been a dancer there, she has grown so much. It’s wonderful to see the progression every year. Their studio offers talented, professional instructors who are truly passionate about dance and teaching. I believe they are building a strong foundation for all the dancers. I highly recommend Catherine’s to any future girl that loves dance!

Catherine and the whole staff of the studio are THE most caring and amazing individuals! My daughter has been dancing here for 7 years and while there are a lot of studios in KC North, we will ALWAYS drive the distance from our home to Parkville to have my daughter at Catherine's! It's a family and we are very happy to be a huge part of it! I especially love that the staff makes a very distinct effort to be Christian and modest in the costuming choices, especially for the littles!

They are nothing but positive and love every single kid with the upmost respect. You will never know the feeling of a loving, family based studio until you get to feel it for yourself. I am so thankful for Catherine’s Dance Studio!
