Hyde Park School of Dance provides opportunities for students of all ages to study, perform, and create classical and contemporary dance at the highest levels of discipline and artistry.
Hyde Park School of Dance (HPSD) is a nonprofit school renowned for providing top-notch training in ballet, jazz, modern, and hip hop. We accept students of all and skill levels, whether their goals are professional or recreational.
We have classes available for toddlers together with their parents or caregivers, drop-off classes for children aged three and up, recreational and pre-professional training for children and teenagers, and drop-in classes for adults. Summer programming includes week-long and three-day workshops, our annual three-week dance intensive, and more.
Serious dancers are invited to audition for our pre-professional youth company, a performance-focused corps of highly trained young dancers who perform original choreography at public events year-round.
HPSD's free teacher training program educates children in the art of dance instruction, and creates opportunities for employment in the field after graduation from high school while developing mentoring relationships within our community.
Hyde Park School of Dance is committed to making all aspects of dance accessible to our community. Our extensive outreach program puts low-cost dance classes into public schools, community centers, and parks all over the city. Our needs-based scholarship program exists to make our in-studio tuition affordable to any student who is serious about their training, and free and affordable public performances bring the joy of watching dance to new audiences year round.

We connect kids to their potential through the art of dance, and provide opportunities for any child with an interest to study, perform, and create classical and contemporary dance at the highest levels of discipline and artistry through robust needs-based scholarships and outreach programming. We believe the personal discipline cultivated through dance training and the social, health, and academic benefits of involvement in extra-curricular arts programming will benefit our students throughout their lives.
