Impact Dance Studio has had an incredible journey since its establishment in 1987! Starting with just a few after-school classes at a local community house, the studio has grown into a flourishing dance hub with two locations, offering over 300 classes per week. It\u2019s inspiring how the studio’s founder, Sue Wagoner, nurtured it into a place that helps thousands of students, from toddlers to adults, develop their dance skills.

The studio’s growth took a pivotal turn when Diane Fotino, a long-time student, took ownership in 2000. Diane, who started her dance journey at Impact, realized her dream of owning a studio and expanded her training in London, New York, and Los Angeles. This dedication to continuous learning and growth has likely played a significant role in the studio\u2019s success.

With nationally ranked team dancers and a strong track record of students pursuing careers in dance, Impact Dance Studio is clearly committed to providing top-notch training for all levels. We\u2019re so glad you stopped by and hope the Impact family can become a meaningful part of your dance journey!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My daughter has been dancing with Impact since she was 18 months old (she is now 7)! She has had so many incredible teachers but would especially like to thank Ms. Nicole who teaches jazz on her dance team. Kendall says Ms. Nicole, \"Is really nice, makes dance fun, and learns so much from her 💗\"<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Both of my daughters love being at Impact!!They made many friends and developed love to dance, which will last for many years! My girls have gained confidence not just in dance but also in their everyday surroundings. They are more disciplined and organized with their school work.All the teachers and staff are well skilled and set the welcoming atmosphere for the children. The studio is organized and well structured.We recommend it! Try it for yourself;)<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

We\u2019ve had two kids at Impact for the last 15 years in almost every different kind of class they offer, from all different styles of rec to competition team to the high school Fusion team to the Groves on Tap ensemble lead by the fantastic Mr Mauricio. One of the best things about Impact is the diversity of options for dancers of all levels and ambitions. My daughter feels lucky to have Miss Logan, who consistently produces some of the best choreography in the entire national competition circuit and pulls the best performances out of her dancers.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We initially came here for a summer camp. My daughter had so much fun during that week that we decided to register for a dance class. After 3 months I can say Ms.Morgan is one of the best dance teachers out there . She has so much patience and you can see the love she has for dance. My daughter has learned a lot and enjoys going to class every Saturday thanks to her.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

My daughters are 13 and 12 and have been dancing with Impact since before age 2. We have always enjoyed each class we have participated with. They are both currently in Lyrical with Miss Jessie! We love her and her dance teacher sister Miss Meagan! If you have a chance for either teacher, you will have a great experience. Marisa and Diane are legit too!<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

We have been so impressed with Impact Dance Studio. This is our second year with Miss Larissa after our daughter specifically asked for her to be the teacher. Her patience, kindness, and obvious joy of dance radiates each week. Starting as a 2 year old, she took a bit to warm up to the class, but Miss Larissa didn't give up on her. I am so thankful our daughter has this class each week!<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/g><\/svg><\/div><\/div>
