Studio W Dance states that its mission is “Helping dancers reach their highest potential,” with a comprehensive dance program that gives dancers tools to develop their technique, artistry, confidence, and life skills, and that it prepares dancers for the next steps in their lives, whatever they choose to do. The program notes the phrases “Strong Dancers. Strong Community.” and “Registration is open now,” and also notes that some classes are already full. A free trial week is available.
Instructors are trained in spotting techniques, body mechanics, and safety for dancers. Owner and instructor Amanda Westergard began dancing in 2004 at age 14, has studied dance at Santa Rosa Junior College, danced with Surge Modern Dance Company, performed in five of SRJC’s annual spring performances, and choreographed dances for those performances. During her eleven years of teaching, she began a dance company and a summer camp program.
Studio W Dance offers a performance troupe called Shine that travels around Sonoma County to perform at various events and talent shows. Flare is a competitive hip hop team that prepares for three competitions in the spring, and Glow is a competitive jazz/contemporary team that competes at three competitions in the spring. Studio W Dance also offers a Team Store to shop and support the dancers.
Summer Showcase Season 5 includes Program A and Program B, with tickets available starting June 1st. All movements in Strength & Stretch are modifiable, and all abilities are welcome. Parent Participation Classes for tiny dancers include Dance with Me and Tumble with Me. All classes are currently being held inside, and Studio W Dance follows all CDC and Sonoma County health guidelines. SWDC Auditions are scheduled for July 26, 2025, for Season 6.
