U Can Dance is a family-friendly, non-competitive dance studio based at North Cross School's Carter Athletic Center in Roanoke, founded by dancer/choreographer Sharon Dickenson. It teaches ballet, tap, jazz, modern, pointe, hip hop and line dance to ages 2 through adult.

Powered by GoogleI am so thankful for Sharon and Tara at U Can Dance. For years I was looking for an adult beginners hip hop class and finally found the perfect place, even if it was for a short time. Sharon answered my email right away and I attended a free trial class the same week. Tara, the hip hop instructor was energetic, patient, and professional. Thank you for being so welcoming and providing an opportunity for adults to learn a new skill in a safe and welcoming environment!
This is the best dance studio in Roanoke. They are so welcoming and really make you feel like part of the dance family. Ms. Sharon and her very talented teachers are all phenomenal with the students. I love our dance family ❤️
We sent our little one here once she had her 4th birthday last summer. She got attached to dancing & Ms. Sharon right away. Later on she had trouble adjusting herself when more kids joining in fall semester, but Ms. Sharon was super patient and helpful to make her continue. Mr. Sharon is a very talented dancer, and also extremely warm-hearted. I was so touched after recital. It was a great show and you can feel that Ms. Sharon was so proud of these little dancers from the bottom of her heart. A great place! Highly recommended to any parents.
My daughter is starting her fourth year with U Can Dance. She can't get enough. She just started taking three classes this season because she loves it so much. Sharon and her team of instructors are awesome! They provide a fun laid back atomosphere for the girls to learn and grow into the dancers they are meant to be. If you are looking for a place to dance or have children that want to give it a try I highly recommend U Can Dance! I look forward to watching my daughter dance here for years to come!
Dance is so good for everyone! Very flexible hours and numerous class times. Sharon, the owner and tap instructor, makes learning dance fun and accessible. She is very kind and patient. I was shocked to find that I was one of the youngest students in my beginner class. Clogging was added last year. There's very little in life that is more fun than stomping and clanging for an hour. Danielle, our instructor, is unbelievably talented and breaks down the steps in easy-to-learn steps. I took adult Hip Hop this summer. What a great hour of cardio! Lucy made every minute a blast. Our daughter has been in classes here for 3 years. Sharon's laid back schedule allows our daughter to miss class if she's in a theatre production and still be able to perform in the year-end recital. This is the place to dance!
