The goal of Miss Barb and Miss Suzi is to create a safe and welcoming environment where their students can learn the art of dance. Equally important, they learn how to be supportive and caring to their fellow students in the homelike environment of the studio. 

We encourage family participation at Barb Denny’s.  Whether it is at a studio party, painting on Prop Day or watching their favorite dancer take class, family and friends are all a part of the experience. 

Our approach has proven to be very successful resulting in well-rounded, talented dancers that have gone on to be professional performers and teachers. 

Miss Barb and Miss Suzi are members of Dance Masters of America and are on faculty for their national conventions.

About our faculty:
Our talented faculty specializes in several forms of dance.  We are very fortunate to have these very creative teachers on staff to include:

Lauren Green, Michael Hitzel, Laurie Oravec, Maria Ruffato, Michele Scanzuso, Kelsey Stempien, Patty Stempien and Julia Wallace.

The class sizes are limited and include the appropriate number of assistants, so that all students get the attention they need to learn. This group of dedicated and enthusiastic assistants includes:

Katie Anderson, Sara Bucci, Samantha Burning, Carl Cole, Ginalese Opera, Briana Scanzuso, Cassie Schwach, Holli Simme, and Caitlin Tutko.
