The Studio
Art thrives in clean, beautiful surroundings, so our spacious facility is decorated in an imaginative and colorful way. This lovely environment is very conducive to learning and teaching. We have two studios: Both are air-conditioned and have ceiling fans for the ultimate comfort of the dancers. Each studio is complete with special flooring and the latest technology in sound equipment.
A comfortable lobby, decorated with photographs and trophies of recent triumphs by Rhythm ’n’ Shoes dancers, greets the visitors upon entering. This space is used by moms, dads, and siblings who wait for their special dancer to cheerfully appear after class. You will also find two clean restrooms, one with a dressing area where dancers may change.
Other amenities provided for your convenience include a front-desk receptionist who is available to assist you in any way. We also provide a student lounge area (currently closed due to Covid), where you will find students hard at work on their homework or having a snack between their classes.

More on Courtesy and Respect
Bring a good attitude to class. Sherrie’s Dance Studio expects students to observe common courtesy and to be respectful of their teachers and fellow class members. Proper respect is expected at all times. We feel it is important that students learn to work efficiently as a group and behave in a respectable manner. There will be a wholesome, healthy, age-appropriate atmosphere at all times. A positive attitude and disciplined behavior is necessary to ensure a rewarding and productive dance class. Disrespect for teachers, gossiping and other behaviors that adversely affect the class will not be tolerated.
