Together we explore dance while upholding the values we hold dear: Compassion & Kindness, Inspiring Creativity, Daily Gratitude, Honor & Celebrate, and Community Service.

“SDA is a wonderful studio that empowers their students and creates a love and passion for dance. My daughter has truly fallen in love with the studio, her teacher, and most of all dance. She looks forward to dance every day and is always asking when she gets to go to class. The growth that we have seen in her not only in dance but personally is astounding! She’s making so many leaps and bounds and it’s all due to the confidence that this dance studio helps to instill in her. She can do hard things, it just takes practice!”
— Lindsee R.

Our Studio
At Sherwood Dance Academy, we believe in more than just great technique — we believe in heart, connection, and community. What began in Old Town around 2001 with just a handful of students and a single classroom has grown into something truly special. Today, our dance family includes hundreds of incredible students, a passionate and caring staff, and three vibrant classrooms where students of all ages come to learn, grow, and express themselves.
At Sherwood Dance Academy, we believe that anyone who wants to dance, should be able to dance. If you want to dance, you are welcome here!
What can we say? We love what we do and are thrilled to share our passion for dance.
“My daughters have always been welcomed, celebrated, and felt like they belonged by teachers and students alike. SDA is a physical place and a feeling all at once- a place to work hard, gain new skills and friends, share your passion, and find new passions and that is only possible because of the excellent staff that cares, communicates, and embraces the strength that each student brings.”
— Amy D.
