Dance Track Studio

Dance Track Studio in Wakefield teaches dance to children ages 2 to 18 and has been part of the Melrose and Wakefield children’s dance community for more than 42 years. Its class list covers ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary and hip hop, often paired in combination classes such as ballet and tap or lyrical and hip hop. The studio aims to build creativity, confidence and perseverance in a setting that is welcoming but professionally run.

Preschoolers start with Tiny Dance, an eight-week creative movement and pre-ballet class for ages 2 to 4 with singing, props and no recital, where one adult may stay in the room to watch. From there, children can move into full-season Ballet and Tap for ages 3 to 5, a two-year progressive program that also introduces some acro skills. Older dancers build technique, musicality and expression in lyrical, jazz and other styles.
