Dixon Dance Studio

About Us

Our Mission

Our mission at Dixon Dance Studio is to provide students with quality dance instruction while providing a fun, safe, and positive environment. At Dixon Dance Studio, we pride ourselves on being non-competitve. We believe there is a significant difference between professional dance training and competitive dance training. Our dancers are technically trained in all facets of dance and are unique in their own individual style. The training we provide at Dixon Dance Studio allows for endless possibilities in the professional world of dance.

Our Studio

Dixon Dance Studio opened it's doors in November of 2000. Amy and Staci Forrest began dancing at a very young age, training in all styles of dance. It was their Grandmas wish to see them share their love of dance with everyone, nothing made her more proud. With the help of their parents Gracion and Ava Forrest, their Grandmas dream came to life and Dixon Dance Studio was born.

Classes

We offer several genres of dance including Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Hip Hop, Modern/Contemporary and Acro Jazz. Check out the schedule tab for more information. Our first class is always free and any Pre-Ballet class, Tap/Jazz Combo class or A level classes are our entry level classes. We continually assess our students and make sure they are in the most appropriate class for their age and skill level.

Spotlight Dancer Calista Cardinale

MAY 2020

This month, we are shining the spotlight on 16-year old Calista Cardinale! Calista is a Sophomore at Winters High School and is also the class president!

Calista has been dancing at Dixon Dance Studio for seven years. She first started dancing because her sister and cousins danced and she wanted to be just like them. Calista’s favorite dance memories include getting to make new friends and be a part of a great dance family.

When asked about her dance friends, she said, “I love all the girls I dance with including my weekly classes, Dance Company and the Competition Team! I love bonding and dancing with them all and I am lucky to have dance friends for life."

Ms. Kristen says, "Calista is an extremely dedicated dancer. In class, she lights up a room with her smile and laugh. She makes everyone around her feel inspired. I loved being able to throw a challenge her way and see how she perfects it."

Calista’s awesome future goal is, “to live on a beach in Hawaii with my dog.” (Hey Calista? Can we come to!?) She wants her fellow dancers to know, “The dance studio is a safe place where you can express your feelings through dance and/or with friends.”

Congratulations on being this month’s Spotlight Dancer!
