we want our children to try new things, discover their talents, gain confidence in themselves, and learn many life lessons along the way.
Dance classes are one of the best methods for achieving all of those goals in one program. In addition to teaching flexibility, strength, rhythm, and creativity, our dance program teaches teamwork, dedication, hard work, and determination in a wholesome and nurturing environment.
as parents...
We train dancers so that they can achieve whatever their individual goals are.
We provide opportunities for accomplishment at every level. Whether it be overcoming preschool stage fright or winning a national title, we celebrate every victory. Some of our dancers take the lessons they learned in dance and apply them as they move on to athletics while others train to become high school, college and even professional dancers.

Our dancers have earned numerous national titles and Studio of Excellence awards in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. Our dancers have performed at Disneyland and Times Square.
Today's Generation is known for excellence both locally and nationally

I grew up dancing right here at Today's Generation Dance. This studio has given me some of my absolute best childhood memories—from the high-energy rehearsals and backstage chaos to the lifelong friendships built in class. My goal for this studio is to give that exact same spark, joy, and second-home feeling to the next generation of dancers.
