Dancin Spirit — Local services in Pawtucket

Both of my daughters have been with Dancin Spirit for over 5 years and I count my blessings every day that I found a great dance studio where my daughters are happy and safe.

From day one, the owner of the studio, Mrs. Christine Ataman Bairos (we call her Ms. Christine) allows all new students to try all the classes before they commit.

The artistic director/instructors are simply the best in the business. They are extremely talented visionaries who transform their vision through the techniques and routines they teach and are unafraid of masterpieces. Whether your child took dance before or not, trust and believe they will evolve into amazing dancers.

The students enjoy special bonds, wonderful camaraderie and lasting friendship is developed. The parents and grandparents, take care of one another. When you see everyone together during competition season and recital, your heart melts because everyone has the same goal, same agenda, and that is the children shine on stage as they dance their hearts out. And we cheer them as loud as we can!

Another perk about being at Dancin Spirit is that if you're running late to pick up your child, Mr. Joe (Ms. Christine's husband) ensures that everyone is safe inside the building and the child is released to the right parent. Rest assure Mr. Joe will not leave until everyone is picked up safely. Where else will you have this safe environment?

What I absolutely love is the fact that all are welcome, regardless of your background, and ethnicity. At Dancin Spirit, you're not just part of a dance school, you're part of a community!

Thank you will never be enough, as DS celebrate 10 years in business, my absolute wish for the studio is continued success as you're changing the lives of each of the children, one...

Dancin' Spirit Performing Arts, conveniently located in Pawtucket, RI, is a dance training school for young people of about 1 1/2 yrs all the way up to the Senior level at 17 yrs and older. Ms. Christine Atamian Bairos, the studio owner and director is a former professional dancer who is a passionate teacher and intensely focused on proper dance training for her students, starting with her "Tiny Toes", and "Pee Wees", the very basic beginning movements of Ballet, Acro, and Tap. Training progresses in a tiered fashion according to age levels as students' capabilities progress, all the way up to the Intermediate and Advanced levels. Whether you want Recreational or Competition-level training, this is the studio I recommend! Dancin' Spirit's extremely talented Competition-team kids have won numerous national grand championships and elite-level awards over the years, and are so exciting to watch in competition! The instructors are all professional, personable, caring and loving to their students, several being Dancin' Spirit alumni themselves! DIVERSITY IS PARAMOUNT at this studio, and all students are treated equally. Tolerance, love, kindness, good sportsmanship, compassion and good work ethic are taught to the kids as well as development of excellent technique in all the many styles, traditional and non-traditional alike that DS offers. Affordable tuition rates, a variety of age- and ability-appropriate classes and a class schedule that can accommodate pretty much anyone's busy work schedule add to the many advantages of attending Dancin' Spirit Performing Arts! A wonderful studio with a fabulous owner/director, staff, curriculum and dance...

I just want to say "Thank You!" to Christine Atamian Bairos for what she did for a little girl dancer at the Dancin Spirit Recital today. The little girl missed her opportunity to dance with her group for some reason, and Christine brought her back to the stage and personally performed a duet with her to "Beauty and the Beast." I thought it was the CLASSIEST thing I've ever seen; it was magical, and so moving, she had me in tears, and the thing is, I've seen her do that before. She and her teachers and staff are all so compassionate and kind, those kids are lucky to be with Dancin Spirit. Thanks for ALL you do for them, in addition to the excellent dance training they receive! I LOVED both shows today; wishing you and Dancin Spirit great success...
