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.
