Our Story

In 2015, Rachael Harding started Miss Rachael's Dance in Denver to share her love and passion for dance with our community. At Miss Rachael's Dance we provide students of all levels with more than just dance classes, but a unique experience in which the student can grow both mentally and physically as a dancer. Our highly trained instructors have a wealth of experience in teaching and performing various styles and disciplines. 

​

Our Mission is to provide young dancers with quality, structured dance education and appreciation for the arts in a supportive and enthusiastic environment. Dance class is not just dancing, but teaching children valuable life lessons, a positive self image, confidence and respect.

 

Here at Miss Rachael's Dance, we have a passion for the art of dance and for helping others discover their inner dancer. Are you ready to get up and move? Contact us today to learn more about our studio.
