Joan Yankauskas Dance School

My two daughters have been taking Miss Joan's classes since the age of three. Now they are 15 and 12. They love the studio! There is a variety of classes including ballet, jazz, tap, pointe, hip-hop, Afro-jazz, and, my favorite, oriental. We moved from Worcester to Brookline, but still come to Miss Joan on Saturdays and this year Mondays as well. She created a family atmosphere in her studio. She makes great dance routines and I enjoy watching her classes. I also like that she supports creativity and allows kids to wear their costumes with a touch of personality at recitals. Some other studios make kids look identical on the stage and it's hard to recognize your child!

Miss Joan is a great teacher and dancer. She dances a couple of numbers at every recital. She is an amazing dancer. I get goosebumps when I see her belly dancing!

My older daughter is thinking of choosing dancing as her career. Miss Joan is helping very much to make my daughter's dream come true!
