National Award-Winning Dance Studio Since 1993 At Denise Wall’s Dance Energy (DWDE), we offer exceptional training in Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary/Lyrical, and Hip Hop for dancers of all levels—from beginners to pre-professionals. Since opening our doors in 1993, DWDE has proudly trained dancers who have gone on to successful careers with American Ballet Theatre, the Kirov Ballet, Broadway productions, national tours, cruise lines, professional theater companies, and hit television shows. Whether just starting or coming in with years of experience, our students thrive in an environment that challenges, supports, and inspires them to reach their highest potential.
A Comprehensive Dance Education Our program provides a full range of technical training tailored to each dance style. Our professional faculty is dedicated to preparing students for careers in the performing arts, as well as supporting those who dance simply for the joy of it through our vibrant recreational program.
Training with Purpose and Passion DWDE’s curriculum is grounded in body awareness, proper placement, injury prevention, and anatomically sound technique. This foundation begins in our early elementary classes and carries through to our advanced, pre-professional company levels. Each member of our faculty is extensively trained in these principles to ensure safe, effective instruction at every stage of a dancer’s development. Beyond Technique Our training is globally recognized for its excellence. In addition to our year-round instruction, we offer seasonal master classes led by guest artists and choreographers from around the world, exposing students to new styles and professional-level insights. At DWDE, we don’t just teach dance; we nurture leaders. Students are offered mentorship and assistant teaching opportunities, allowing them to gain the skills, vocabulary, and confidence needed to guide and inspire the next generation of dancers.
