Dance Classes in San Jose, CA

We are in the business of providing dance classes to kids, but for us, it’s simpler than that. Our goal has been, is, and always will be, to make Dance Academy USA in San Jose, a great place to be: great for our families, great for our kids, and great for our staff. This is what we think about and work on every day.

As a staff, we like to believe that we are playing a small role in helping young children become confident, resilient, and independent adults. At DAU it’s not just about dance. It’s about building strength of character along the way through a nurturing environment.

Our greatest joy is watching our students grow and thrive and become an inspiration to others throughout their dancing journey.

Dance Classes Near Me for All Skill Levels and Backgrounds

Let’s find your favorite class and get you dancing…

Our classes for ages 3 - 7 are limited to our Combo classes.

Our classes for ages 7 - 17 provide technique training in all styles of dance from beginner to advanced level.

The designated level of each class (from 1-4) is DAU’s systematic way of ensuring that each dancer receives the best possible dance education. Each year at the end of February, all of our directors and teachers assess each student in their classes. This assessment determines the levels of classes dancers can take for any given style of dance in the next dance season.

In our leveling system, students start at Level 1 as beginners and work their way up to more advanced levels. Our system is not like grade school where students automatically move up each year. Students move up based on their application & execution of curriculum, performance, and technique in class. We want to ensure each dancer has mastered the skills required in that particular level before moving to the next level.
