Sahuarita Dance Center — Local services in Sahuarita

After thirteen years at this dance studio, I can confidently recommend it above all others in the area for the best combination of proper technique training and a loving and nurturing environment where students can grow and flourish in character, passion, and the rigours of dance technique. We are very fortunate to have a studio of this caliber in our community. My daughter began taking classes at SDC when she was 3 yrs. old, and will be a Senior in H.S. this year. She is on a championship dance team, and heading to New York next week to compete in the International Model and Talent competition with a dance solo, in great part because of Sahuarita Dance Center and its owner, Michele Igasan, who is not only a professionally-trained ballerina, but genuinely loves and cares for each student. Because of her passion for dance and drive for excellence, the owner hires the best teachers from around the world to train students...Professional ballerinas from Russia, Championship U of A gymnasts, and Nat'l award-winning hip-hop dancers. This is a dance studio you can count on for the right training with prices well-below what could be charged for the quality of training given. As a parent who was not a dancer, I feel very fortunate to have found SDC. When we began our dance adventure, I did not know the importance of checking to be sure instructors were well-qualified dancers. Be certain, wherever you go, that your child is trained in proper technique from the beginning. It can be very difficult to "undo" and re-teach proper dance technique. I have met several parents over the years who moved to SDC, believing their child was a competitive dancer for his/her age, only to be surprised and dismayed that their prior training was not adequate. Take it from a parent who was fortunate, despite my naivete, that Sahuarita Dance Center is the best in the area and will train your child with the...

Sahuarita Dance Center deserves more than 5 stars! Both the gymnastics and Folklórico classes are absolutely wonderful. My daughter loves every minute she spends there, and it's clear how much the instructors care about each student’s progress and well-being. The gymnastics program is fun and engaging, with coaches who truly know how to bring out the best in each child while making sure they are safe and building confidence.

The Folklórico classes are a beautiful experience as well, teaching not only the art of dance but also an appreciation for culture and tradition. The instructor is incredibly talented and passionate, and it shows in how she interacts with the students.

Overall, the atmosphere at Sahuarita Dance Center is positive and welcoming. The staff and instructors create a nurturing environment where kids feel supported and excited to learn. We couldn’t be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality dance and...

Best dance studio in the area! Their prices are very reasonable and the dance, cheer and gymnastics coaches are great! No other studio in the area has a prior UA gymnast and current gymnastics meets judge, and a prior professional ballerina for the Russian ballet, among many other talented coaches as part of its staff.

The director, a professionally trained ballerina, has a lot of passion for what she does and a great vision for her students.

My daughter has been dancing at SDC for five years now and the teachers and fellow dance moms have become a part of our...
