Denise Smithisler and Melissa Cook, the studio directors at Dancemakers Northwest, have been teaching children and adults to dance for more than 25 years. Some of its current students' parents were enrolled in the facility's first classes. This well-established local studio provides instruction in tap, jazz, hip hop, cheer, ballet and lyrical dancing to children 3 and up. Classes culminate in a June recital for everyone to enjoy. Dance clothing is available for purchase including leotards, tights and shoes.
