ABOUT DANCERS WORKSHOP
We are proud to serve Sudbury MA and the Metro West Boston communities for over 35 years and share the joy of dance with dancers of all ages and abilities. We offer programs for the recreational dancer through the more seasoned dancer looking for an intensive program.
Dancers Workshop is a place where a star can shine, where friends can meet, where “a team” doesn’t have to include a ball, and where art is respected and loved. We give the opportunity to be on stage to one and all. We thread confidence with camaraderie. We take movement and express ourselves through dance.
