"THE STUDIO WHERE EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD"
Welcome to the home of the Institute of Dancing Arts! We are a dance studio located in Grand Junction on the beautiful western slope of Colorado. We strive to provide the highest quality dance instructions with strong emphasis on technique in ballet, pointe, pas de deux, tap, jazz and contemporary to young children through adults. Students are encouraged to learn and grow in a nurturing environment, not only in dance technique, but also in body, mind and spirit. Our beautiful studio is located in the Redlands at 2148 Broadway, Suite C-4, Grand Junction, CO 81507. The bright and airy studio has a sprung floor with excellent, professional dance surface, ideal for the health and safety of our dancers while learning the wonderful art of dance.
