Elite training,
a second home.
At Studio 1 we offer elite training in various styles from beginning to a pre‑professional level, while promoting a strong self‑confidence.
We value the positive life skills of hard work, responsibility, team work, dedication and determination. Whether a dancer is chasing a professional career or simply a place to belong on a Tuesday night, we want to give them the tools to get there.

What makes us different
Why families stay for years
The highest quality experience in personalised dance instruction — in a comfortable, friendly environment where parents actually want to hang out in the lobby.
Placed by ability, not just age
Every dancer is evaluated each year so they land in the class where they will actually progress — never held back, never pushed past their technique.
A purpose‑built facility
6,500 square feet with three studios on sprung and Marley floors, four changing rooms, a dancewear boutique, a full kitchen and a big, bright lobby.
Faculty who grew up here
Many of our instructors are Studio 1 alumni who came back to teach. Our ballet director has led the program for two decades. That continuity is rare.
National‑level opportunity
LA Dance Magic, EPIC, LUX, Nuvo and Jump. Stadium of Fire. Disneyland performances. Our dancers hold regional and national titles.
CLI Studios master classes
Our students get online master classes from world‑renowned choreographers — industry access most studios this size simply cannot offer.
The J.A.M. mentorship program
Our Junior Assistant Mentorship program trains teenage dancers to teach — leadership, communication and classroom skills that outlast dance itself.

Twelve seasons, one second family
My daughter has been dancing here since she was 3 years old. We love Studio 1, they are like a second family to my daughter.
My oldest daughter has been going since she was a tiny tot! She’s growing into a beautiful, confident dancer!
My daughter has danced at Studio 1 Dance Center for 6 years. It’s a great studio!
My daughter dances here, and the location is great for us because we live in Orem.
