About Sara Kate's Dance Studio

Sara Kate's Dance Studio, nestled in East Peoria, Illinois, has been a vibrant hub for dance education since its establishment in 2014. Owned and operated by Sara Hawkins, the studio offers a diverse range of dance instruction for students of all ages, from preschool through adulthood. Our comprehensive curriculum nurtures talent and builds confidence, instilling a lifelong love for dance. We provide foundational techniques in core disciplines including Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, alongside expressive genres such as Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Contemporary. Aspiring performers can also explore Musical Theater training, preparing them for the stage. For students seeking to enhance their physical skills, we offer Acrobatics and Tumbling classes, with options for intermediate and advanced levels. Personalized attention is available through private lessons for students aged 8 and up, perfect for solos, duets, trios, and extra technique work. Under the guidance of experienced instructors including Sara Hawkins, Lauren Hawkins, Brooklynn Arrington, Kenzie Quine, and Alaina Hosbrough, many of whom are former dedicated students turned passionate educators, students receive exceptional instruction. Sara Kate's Dance Studio fosters a strong sense of community and competition through various dance teams, including the Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, and specialized Hip Hop Opal Teams. We emphasize the importance of technique and skill development year-round, including crucial summer training sessions, to prepare students for exciting competitions and performances. Registration for our upcoming season requires online submission, with classes commencing in September and culminating in an annual recital in May, offering a comprehensive and engaging dance education experience for our community.
