No previous dance experience is necessary and dancers are split into two classes by age.

★★★★★duckyJohansen Olympia Dance is absolutely amazing! The instructors are so talented and encouraging, and the whole studio feels like a second family. The choreography is always creative and fun, and the dancers are incredibly passionate and skilled. Whether you’re just starting out or have been dancing for years, this place brings out the best in everyone. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Ted BaileyOur daughter has been dancing with Johansen's dance in Olympia for 2 years. She began as a 5th grader and was older than many at her level. We were concerned that might be a challenge for her self esteem. The instructors and owners were kind and welcoming always and gave her encouragement along the way. She has found so much joy in dance and we are grateful! We have found the studio to be body positive, provide ample opportunity to grow, be challenged and have fun. This studio has a rich history in our downtown and after experiencing it for the last 2 years it's easy to see why this gem is beloved.
★★★★★Kareem HadeeThis is Not a ballroom-style dance school. It is family-oriented, and they specialize in ballet. Child friendly, and a great place for children to learn ballet.
