Dance Lessons in Henderson

Delgado Dance Studios is equipped to teach any level of dancer—in fact, they've trained some of the most renowned ballroom dancers in the country. According to an article on BestOfVegas.com and a March 2009 story written by Robin Leach for Las Vegas Weekly, Delgado Dance Studios has hosted rehearsals for several of the Dancing with the Stars contestants and has trained dancing pro Cheryl Burke. The studio's instructors teach both kids and adults how to gracefully navigate styles such as ballroom, ballet, tap, and jazz.

Studio One's Summerlin and Southwest establishments house an armada of instructors boasting experience ranging from Olympic opening ceremony performances, star spots in Broadway productions, and choreography positions with entertainment companies. Within the combined 15,000 square feet of studio space, left-footed frolickers are transformed into smooth-stepping dancers with a variety of dance disciplines. From the grace of traditional ballet sessions to hip-hop classes inspired by popular street dances, the movement mavens instill their mastery onto dancers of all ages and levels, regardless of how many legs or fins they have. The Summerlin location boasts five studio rooms equipped with viewing windows and a waiting room with a flat-screen TV that broadcasts video from each dance room, so guardians can watch their pupil evolve into a dancer and forgo walking forever.

With resumés that list extensive travels from venue to venue, the instructors at The Pointe Dance Center embody Shakespeare's famous sentiment, "All the world's a stage." Owner Donna Frias has appeared on television and in famous venues—Madison Square Garden and the Civic Light Opera among them—as a member of Bella Lewitzky's dance company. Break-dance teacher Ricardo Barraza Jr. once entertained American troops in Qatar in addition to touring internationally, and Kelly Inskip has lent her moves to celebrities such as Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake.

At their Las Vegas studio, these professionals combine their experiences to spark a passion for dance in students of all age groups. They concentrate on the dual development of technique and confidence, leading classes in ballet, tap, hip-hop, musical theater, and acrobatic disciplines including gymnastics and cheer. They acclimate tiny legs to new rhythms with sessions for toddlers, and they also host Stretch, Turn & Leap seminars that help with general poise. By relying on positive reinforcement rather than giant, screaming metronomes for motivation, they encourage pupils to view choreography as a flexible medium for self-expression.
