About Nielsen School of Dance

Nielsen School of Dance, located in Twin Falls, Idaho, has been a cornerstone of dance education since its establishment in 1957 by Willa Dean and Kim Nielsen. Dedicated to fostering a lifelong love for dance, the studio offers high-quality instruction in a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment. Our comprehensive programs cater to students of all ages, from "Tiny Stars" (3-4 yrs) exploring movement to older students and adults. We provide training in foundational disciplines including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Modern dance. Younger students engage with the fundamentals through programs like "Twinkle Stars" (4-5 yrs) and "Shooting Stars" (5-7 yrs), while students aged 8-18 can enjoy combo classes blending genres such as Jazz/Hip-Hop and Lyrical/Contemporary. Nielsen School of Dance is also proud to be home to the award-winning Stargazer Dance Co., a five-time national dance team champion, showcasing a commitment to excellence and performance opportunities. Dancers typically join the Stargazer program around six or seven years old. We offer specialized summer camps and intensive programs, including a popular Ages 7-12 Jazz Camp and an Ages 3-6 Princess Camp, with registration highly recommended due to high demand. Experienced adult instructors provide personalized attention in small class sizes, nurturing coordination, creative thinking, and invaluable life skills such as teamwork and dedication. Family and sibling discounts are available, reinforcing our family-oriented approach to accessible dance education.
