Stage Door University has designed an excellent dance and theater program of activities to give children a chance to experience the joy of dancing and creative movement in a fun and loving atmosphere. We are committed to providing a stimulation and adventurous environment to enhance children’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual and creative growth.
Our Sarasota dance staff will use music, props, costumes and creative movement to introduce children to the world of dance. Students will develop rhythm, coordination, musicality and creativity, as well as the ability to follow directions, interact with peers, take turns patiently and gain self-confidence. Most importantly, our classes are FUN!
Classes are available for students 9 months - age 7, and ages 7 and up. We offer dance classes in jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, acrobatics, tumbling, modern, lyrical, hip hop, and competition dance teams. All new students are welcome to come try their first class for free. Once you determine your level of study, from basic dance classes to professional dance programs, you can choose a class from our schedule and attend a once week class to unlimited classes per week. At all times, staff is on hand to guide you through our class schedule, and ensure that you have chosen the Sarasota dance classes that meet your needs and abilities.
Our brand new second location in Sarasota is clean and dancer friendly! We have 3 beautiful dance rooms all with sprung floors to help reduce the chance of injury to dancers’ knees and ankles. We also have wooden floors to hear the crisp sounds of tap shoes! Our extensive dance and theater faculty is known and esteemed world wide for their knowledge and experience. You are sure to find a dance teacher and style that will more than meet your needs or expose you to a completely new experience. Our teachers offer either classic teaching styles or new cutting edge methods.

Testimonials
I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it!! My 3 year old son goes here for enrichment classes (art, science, numbers) and tumbling and just loves it. The teachers are so sweet with him! My daughter (age 6) who previously quit ballet did a trial for Sparkle Squad (cheer and dance together) and just loves it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. This is truly a wonderful place for children!
