About
Studio Dansu offers classes in dance, music, and theatre, including HipHop, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Acting, and Voice. Students take part in training across these creative and performing arts disciplines through a comprehensive arts education curriculum that teaches the foundations of each area rather than competition. The program integrates the history of each discipline into instruction and uses an age-appropriate syllabus that supports students’ physical and mental development.
Studio Dansu’s mission is to educate and encourage students to become knowledgeable and passionate thinking artists. The program focuses on technique, artistry, creativity, self-discipline, teamwork, and confidence, and it prepares students for local performances, college arts programs, and professional careers in the performing arts. It offers performing arts education to both aspiring professionals and hobbyists.
The faculty at Studio Dansu is a professional team of teaching artists who hold degrees or certifications in their field, and instructors are encouraged to pursue ongoing education. The leadership and staff include Jayme Shimooka (Owner & Artistic Director), dance instructors Sarah Barnard, Alexis Lepperd, Peyton Yang, and Tyra Lex, acting and music instructor Charly Sparks, dance substitute instructor Fallon Stanislawski, facility attendant Kammie Atkins, office assistants Charlotte Gyuro and Olivia Robbins, and student office assistants Will Carroll and Zoe Shimooka.
The facility includes spacious dance studios with full-length mirrors for body alignment and group unison practice, as well as a floating subfloor to protect dancers of all ages from stress and injury. It also has music and acting rooms designed to inspire creativity, and a lobby with live-feed TV screens for parents to watch children’s progress, free WiFi, and complimentary coffee and tea for families.
Studio Dansu recognizes that its arts center and the theatres where it performs occupy land that is the ancestral home of the Ho-Chunk Nation, known as Teejop. It acknowledges the forced removal of the Ho-Chunk people, honors their legacy of resistance and resilience, and recognizes the sovereignty of the twelve First Nations within Wisconsin, celebrating their traditions, heritage, and culture. Studio Dansu states that it respectfully recognizes this Ho-Chunk land and affirms a commitment to standing together and working toward a collaborative future.
One parent testimonial states that their son has taken HipHop, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Acting, and Voice at Studio Dansu for the past few years, has enjoyed his training, and has grown as a performer, and that the teachers are talented, knowledgeable, and encouraging and promote a healthy environment for growth and progress in their students.
