What our Community is Saying:
The Oregon Coast Dance studio has been a blessing! My daughter is now in her second week and loving it. The staff are all kind and compassionate and the owners are a blessing to this community. If the camps are this fun, I can’t wait to see what's to come!
Megan SouthDancer Mom
After years of trying different sports we have yet to find something our daughter actually asks to go to. I think that has finally changed as we have found Oregon coast dance. This may be her first week of camp but our sweet girl practices her new moves all afternoon and excitedly gets out of bed in the morning asking when it’s time for DANCE! This makes my mama heart soo happy! We love the studio set up, Coral at the front desk is so attentive and kind. The teachers have been very loving and patient with every child I’ve seen them interact with and I think it’s wonderful they have middle school helpers involved and helping the kids as well. They have a video setup in the waiting room so parents can see and listen to what’s going on in class (I’ve stayed and watched all week). Classes have been very organized and just all around lovely. I’m so excited for this addition to our community!!

This week my daughter was generously invited to participate in the Oregon Coast Dance's Monster's Inc dance camp. The first day she was very shy but with her dance teacher Miss Coral she became very comfortable and within 5 minutes of being in the class she had a smile so wide I could not contain how happy I was. The studio is small but the thing I loved was that while the kids were in their session with the room closed the parents were able to sit in the lobby and watch and hear all that was being done during their session. They also incorporated a craft project designed for the camp's theme so each day the kids took home a new monster project. If you're wanting something fun for your kids to do ( especially during the not so nice weather and still get exercise ) I highly encourage you to go on the website or here on their Facebook page and see what their summer camp schedules are available. We look forward to doing many more with Oregon Coast Dance Company. Thank you all for making my daughter’s first time experience memorable.

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.
Lisa FieldingDancer Mom
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!
Kelly GoodeDancer Mom
For our little town of Brookings, Oregon Coast Dance feels like a dream come true. Led by the talented and patient instructor Lindsey Dinneen, they offer exceptional dance instruction in a fun and supportive environment. My daughter's blossoming skills are a testament to their dedication. Masterclasses by the inspiring Theodore Constant 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.
Taira HamiltonDancer Mom
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.
Rachael WangDancer Mom
I love Oregon Coast Dance!! The dance teacher is very precise. I love the dance studio with big mirrors and the floor has good traction. The studio is exciting and I'm happy to be a part of it!
Charity FieldingDancer (age 9)
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!
Coral AndersonDancer Mom
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.
Rebecca T Dancer (age 14)
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!
Liz CamarilloDancer Mom
I loved the teachers and especially loved the ballet teacher [Lindsey]. She was lots of fun. It was also so much fun trying to do tap dance and wear the special shoes!
Grace WangDancer
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!
Opal AndersonDancer
I have been trying to get my daughter interested in some other extracurricular activities, and she was very timid to try dance. Coral at Oregon Coast Dance called and told me about a trial class she could take, and after the first class, she was hooked. Thank you to everyone at Oregon Coast Dance for making her feel welcome and getting her out of her shell!
Sarah SandersDance Mom
I have been profoundly impressed and in awe as you have created this amazing place for dancers to grow and shine. The world is a much better place thanks to you and all of the amazing people you have brought in to create Oregon Coast Dance.
Kelly AndersonDance Mom
Oregon Coast Dance is where the girls do their dance classes every week. Super awesome place run by the nicest people!!
Tiffany TraynorDance Mom
Enrolling my daughter, Camila, in Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory has been incredibly rewarding for her. Through dance, she has gained confidence by performing in front of others during recitals and events, overcoming shyness and feeling proud of her achievements. Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory's generosity and support have truly made a lasting impact in my daughter's life, and I cannot thank them enough for their support and kindness.
Carolina RiosDance Mom
Thank you! I really appreciate the extra tools you have provided me 🙂 I had such a wonderful time in the class and everyone was lovely and welcoming. I can't imagine a better environment for any student to learn in!

The Oz show was really great - looked like all the dancers loved performing - you are starting to have a lot of really good dancers with great diversity - costumes were amazing - really fun night!!
Pretty soon on Opening Night - the town of Brookings will basically shut down as everyone will be heading to the performance- congrats!

JaymeDance Mom
I now love dance and cannot imagine not knowing how I want to dance professionally!
Sloane KravatasDancer
Dance classes have helped my child grow in confidence, coordination and creativity...
Jordan KravatasDance Mom
Went to the spring Oz show not totally sure what to expect, other than kids dancing and probably a lot of green somewhere, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable show. There was a clear story, the costumes looked great, most of it looked professionally choreographed, and the dancers all seemed genuinely proud to be up there, which matters more than people sometimes realize.
You can also tell the studio has grown a lot. This show, and the last one too, felt much more polished and confident than earlier productions, in a way that is noticeable without being showy about it.
Overall, it was sweet, creative, and well put together. A good community performance, and a nice reminder that there are people in the area who have real training and can pass it on to our kids.

I had forgotten how much I love to dance. Being a part of the Oregon Coast Dance family has rekindled that joy in my life.

We love Oregon Coast Dance studio. Both of our girls are thriving in it, second year in.
