About Deborah's School of Dance

Deborah's School of Dance, a beloved cornerstone of the Storm Lake, Iowa community, has been fostering a love for dance for over 40 years. Originally founded in 1976 by owner and instructor Deborah Dunn, the studio offers a comprehensive dance education for students of all ages, starting as young as three and continuing through high school. Deborah, who brings extensive training and teaches ballet, lyrical, and pointe, is complemented by her sister, Lisa Shima, an instructor with a competitive background who leads the tap and jazz classes. The school's curriculum provides a foundational approach, beginning with ballet for essential technique and gross motor skills, and progressively incorporating other styles as students advance. Students typically engage in multiple classes for a well-rounded experience, with dedicated adult jazz and tap classes also available. Deborah's School of Dance emphasizes personal growth and skill development within a nurturing and supportive learning environment. The dance season runs from September to May, culminating in an annual recital where students showcase their progress. With a history rich in dance instruction, the studio is committed to nurturing young talent and encouraging a lifelong passion for movement within the Storm Lake community and beyond. Registration is managed online, with mail, drop-off, and Venmo options available to ensure accessibility.
