Am I too old to start now?
Never! Dancing Thru Life Studio is dedicated to ONLY Adult Dance instruction. Our students range in age from 18 to 80 with dance experience from beginner, intermediate and classically trained. We offer opportunities to stay in shape and healthy and/or excel and further their dance education.

This will be my first dance class ever, will It be intimidating?
Absolutely Not!  Our goal is to provide adults a fun learning experience with other adults in classes assigned according to one's skills. Our studio environment is friendly, happy, and you will never feel uncomfortable, intimidated, or unwelcomed!

Is dancing later in life dangerous for health?
Just the opposite!  It is proven that dancing at any age in life can positively impact mental and physical health. It is also found to help prevent the development of Alzheimer’s, types of dementia, and other physical/mental impairments.  Dance improves balance and flexibility, and as a result, reduces the chance of falls or injury.  Our studio is a place to empower our students and better their lives through dance which also creates community, friendships and social interaction.

I took dance when I was young, in high school and/or in college. Will I be too advanced?
Continue your dance education and challenge yourself here!  We have classes just for your level of dance instructed by professional dancers that will further your dance education and/or enjoy using your dance skills in your adult life.  We have adult students in college through retirement that enjoy continuing their dance experience in an all adult setting!

Will I have to dedicate a lot of time?
Dance, like any education, takes time to learn, but at your pace.  Our class schedules offer several options/times throughout the week.  Day time classes and evening classes are available to accommodate our students.  

What kind of dress is required?
Comfortable and stretchy.  Our studios don't require you to wear a leotard or tights.  We want you to learn in comfortable, accommodating and appropriate work-out dress.  When signing up for our classes - just ask our studio staff for recommendations.

Do I need dance shoes?
Yes.  Because our custom studio dance floors are made for dance shoes, in addition in learning dance correctly and safely, dance shoes need to be worn.  Tap shoes, ballet shoes or jazz shoes are extremely comfortable, fashionable and affordable.  We will help you get them!

Do I have to perform?
It is your choice!  Each Spring, our students have an opportunity to showcase their talents at the studio's annual "Performing For Life" showcase.  Not just a "tradition dance recital", our showcase features our dancers in a show to help raise funds for the Whole Kids Outreach organization that aims to help create strong, healthy, happy families in six rural counties of Missouri.
