To help dancers stay focused and build independence, parents wait in our lobby during class and watch through our viewing windows. We also offer designated observation opportunities throughout the season. Some dancers benefit from parents away from the viewing windows for decreased distraction.

For 30 years, Prairie School of Dance has been committed to teaching the joy of dance in a wholesome, faith-based environment. We focus on quality instruction, age-appropriate choreography, and helping every dancer grow in confidence, character, and technique.

No. Prairie School of Dance does not offer a competitive dance program. At PSOD, we offer our Performing Arts (PA) Program, which provides dedicated dancers with additional training and performance opportunities in a positive, team-focused environment. Placement in the PA Program is by audition only. Learn more about our PA Program here!

Tuition is paid monthly through our online parent portal during the 9-month dance year. Billing statements are sent around the 1st of the month and credit cards on file are charged on the 7th of the month, or the closest business day. Payment plans are available as needed.

Our 2026-2027 Dance Year starts September 10th through May 28th, with a year-end recital on June 5-6th. During the summer we offer classes, camps, parties, and workshops.

Our faith-based dance studio welcomes everyone. We believe that every person is a beautiful child of God.

We teach dance, not theology. Our studio is guided by prayer and a passion to use our gifts to bring light into our community. Every class concludes with a short prayer of gratitude or reverence, creating a moment to pause, reflect, and give thanks.

Our studio was originally founded inside Prairie Lutheran Church as a place where students could learn quality dance technique while expressing faith through movement. Today, we continue that tradition through our Sacred Dance classes, Sacred Dance Productions, and Cathedral Ensemble—classes and experiences specifically set apart as opportunities for worship and sacred expression.

At our core, we believe dance is a beautiful way to celebrate community, creativity, faith, and the gifts we have been given.
