Unparalleled Professional Instruction

Welcome to Oregon Coast Dance!

Dancing is one of the fundamental arts that involves direct expression through body movement. It is a universal human experience that touches the soul, and is a timeless expression of our innermost beings.

Dance is so many things. It’s creative expression, it’s passion, it’s joy, it’s freedom, it’s story-telling, it’s a challenge, it’s exercise, it’s a way to both lose oneself and find oneself. Whatever draws you to dance, we’re glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to dance with you!

We provide high quality dance instruction for children and adults in a positive, encouraging, and fun environment. Whether you are brand new to dance, or you’ve been dancing for years, we have a class for you.

TESTIMONIALS

Voices From Our Community

For our little town of Brookings, Oregon Coast Dance feels like a dream come true. Led by the talented and patient instructors, they offer exceptional dance instruction in a fun and supportive environment. My daughter's blossoming skills are a testament to their dedication. Masterclasses push students to new heights, while the facilities themselves are a dancer's paradise: clean, organized, and equipped with top-notch safety features. They even have amenities like a livestreaming setup and height-adjustable barre system, rivaling anything you'd find in a big city studio! From the warmth of the owners to the contagious team spirit, it's clear everyone here is passionate about creating something truly special. My daughter can't wait for her next class, and I wholeheartedly recommend Oregon Coast Dance to anyone looking for an exceptional dance experience. It's more than just a studio; it's a gift to our community.

My 3 girls recently took classes from Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory and they absolutely loved all of the classes! They came home so enthusiastic and eager to take more dance classes from this quality dance studio. As a mom, I was very impressed by the expertise of the dance teachers. I also really appreciated being able to see my girls dance on the screen while I was sitting in the waiting area. We look forward to the summer camps and the fall dance classes!

My daughter, Grace, loves ballet and had a fantastic ballet class at the Oregon Coast Dance studio. She loves the teachers and enjoys doing pirouettes and other ballet moves on the bar. The teacher also has a barre that she can move to face the students so they can see exactly what they are supposed to be doing. She said the class was fun and super interesting. As a mom, I really appreciated the friendliness of both the teachers and the staff at the studio. They also have a fantastic sitting room for parents to sit and watch their children via a big tv screen so they can see them dance live (without disrupting the class). It’s also nice that there’s a changing room so the students don’t have to come wearing their dance clothes but can change into them there. A special touch that I particularly loved is having several kids ballet books (I love books!) in the sitting room for people to take a look at while they wait for the class to finish.

This studio is amazing! I loved getting to see old friends, and meet new ones! It was such an amazing experience dancing with such high quality professionals. I haven’t had much “professional” dance training before, and I’m so excited for the summer camps and classes.

I had a lot of fun in the Musical Theater class! I was with my friends, and learned that since the audience is far away, I have to use body movements like words. Movement becomes my expression!

We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory during their soft opening. From the moment we walked in, I knew this studio was something special. We were greeted by friendly staff and a waiting area designed to encourage parents to be involved in their child's dance experience. A large TV on the wall in front of the seating area broadcasts what is happening in the two large, well-lit dance rooms, creating a sense of community and trust in the studio's teaching methods. My daughter took a few classes and loved them. The teachers were incredibly professional and experienced, and they clearly cared about their students. They started each class by discussing the curriculum and then proceeded to teach the lessons accordingly. Whether the class had two students or twelve, the teacher was fully engaged, giving their all and expecting the same of their pupils. I'm thrilled to have such an exceptional dance studio in our town, with teachers who can and will provide the best dance education for their students!

Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory is a well-appointed studio, bright and state-of-the-art in its design. We have been impressed by the Conservatory’s hospitable, kind, dancer-oriented environment! Our trial class was of the highest professional caliber, and I loved that I could watch the entire class on a televised platform from the waiting room! Each element of the studio is thoughtful of both the dancers and their families; there is a dressing room, and outlets along a counter island for parents to get work done while waiting. The Conservatory even has younger dancers and their siblings in mind with a bookshelf full of enticing picture books about dance, apparel for sale if needed, and water and snacks available. I am charmed, and so glad they’ve created an excellence-driven, professional new venue for the dance community in Brookings-Harbor!

I loved the teachers and especially loved the ballet teacher. She was lots of fun. It was also so much fun trying to do tap dance and wear the special shoes!
Grace - Age 8Student

Oregon Coast Dance exudes professionalism from the entrance! The lobby is welcoming, the staff are friendly, the owners are detail oriented, and dance instructors are inclusive and top in their field. By observing the classes through the state of art parent observation screen the students' excitement and confidence is evident. The instructors presented themselves in a highly professional and gracious manner taking special care to help each student feel valued and competent. The studio decor is fresh, professional, and invites an atmosphere of excellence and fun. The whole experience is highly organized and runs like clockwork! Every detail is attended to with finesse. The conservatory is truly a gem and a gift to Brookings! We are so grateful to be part of this exceptional dance company.
