Pure Dance Works - Fort Wayne, IN

Shiloh Petersen

Pure Dance Works may be the best environment I’ve ever had at a dance studio! I danced at Pre-Professional dance schools until I was injured when I was 15. My family moved quite a bit, but I’ve trained at many big name studios in the past.

When I was injured I thought I was done with dance, that my dreams were over and I would never be able to step into a studio again without getting hurt. Pure Dance Works proved me wrong. Their program is dedicated to safely raising dancers to minimize injury, and support mental health. The kind teachers, and the opportunities they open up for their children are incredible.

Even as a Pre-Pro, my dream was to be a teacher, and Pure literally has a program dedicated to training the next generation of dance teachers. Before I started dancing there, I was part of the Impact Team and it opened up so many doors for me.

Please come to this studio, you will not regret it, and your children may even find a passion in the safest way possible! I wish I had had a studio like Pure in my life sooner ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ps. The picture below is after about two years of training with them. When I tell you I didn’t even have this much technique and flexibility at my old studios, I mean it.

I have been bringing my granddaughter here for the past year and we love it. She is 3 years old and I like the positive, encouraging, environment she is in. This is the time to be building our children up and here at PureDanceWorks the teachers are doing just that - helping build confidence in our young ones! The class size ratio is great - for this year its been about 5-7 students to 2 teachers. Not sure of all class sizes however this was for the Sparkle 3. Being constantly on the go, I like that the costumes along with practice wear is all included in one monthly cost! We will be coming back next year!

My daughter has really blossomed since beginning our first Dewdrop class. She was a little shy and timid at first, but by week 4 or 5 she was fully participating, practicing at home, and interacting with her classmates. We’re thrilled a friend recommended it and we’re both excited to continue our time at Pure Dance Works!

We started the dewdrop class this past January and my little one loves it! She is very shy, so I feel like this is a great, safe environment for her to be around other kids, learn to follow directions, and participate in a class! We signed up for another season and plan to continue! Thank you Pure Dance Works and Miss. Anna, it’s been so fun!

I highly recommend Pure Dance Works! The staff and teachers are exceptional. There is so much value packed into their programs. We have continued to reenroll each season because we are so happy. Our daughter loves dance at Pure Dance Works and so do we! She has so much fun and is learning so much. We started when she turned 2 in DewDrop with Ms. Anna and we have seen such a positive impact on her development the past 9 months. She has learned dance moves, imaginative play, and how to build obstacle courses (her favorite). Through dancing and playing she has also learned patience, taking turns, following instructions, and so much more. Dew drop is a class with a grown up involved - mom, dad, and grandpa have all joined and enjoyed the fun! We have loved this interactive program. We have seen her independence and confidence grow and are looking forward to her joining the independent Sparkle class when she turns 3.

My daughter started here when she was three and it’s been a year and a half now of watching he blossom into a little dancer! She adores all her teachers (as do I) and looks forward to dancing with her ballet friends every week. I truly love this studio for the community they facilitate and love for dance they’ve instilled in my daughter. I get to watch her learn discipline and respect while making friends and enjoying every minute of class!

Our son has Down Syndrome and has participated in the Access class for the last several years. We feel much more confident in his participation given the values behind Pure Dance Works, especially given that he has less ability to decipher and process messaging and values that may put him at risk. The costumes and dances are respectful and chaste. The teachers are kind, encouraging, and build upon success.

The name says it all! Our daughter has attended classes at Pure Dance Works for 9 years! This past year she was also trained to help assist the teachers in some of the classes. She is loved, protected, professionally instructed, and encouraged to stretch her knowledge of dance as well as be challenged to grow physically, socially, and emotionally. The studio encourages dancer modesty and is taught in a safe environment where dancers make life-long friendships while also learning how they can have a positive impact on everyone around them. Communication between the studio and parents is absolutely superb!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the upcoming year!
