Welcome!

Located in University City, the Studio at Take the Lead on Pine is a place where talent and creativity come together in all dance forms. We believe that anyone can dance! With the proper tools, even those who have two left feet or are rhythmically challenged can learn to do it, and to do it well. We see dance as a growing and learning experience that continues throughout a person's life. Whether you're a novice or professional, there is always something new, fun, exciting, and rewarding to be found in the countless varieties of dance.

We offer an array of classes for children, teens, and adults like Kids' and Teen Ballroom, Pre-K and K+ Ballet, as well as a perennial studio favorite: Salsa - levels I, II, and III.

As we further develop our website, our Facebook page and Google calendar below are the best ways to get the most up-to-date information on happenings at the studio.
