About this studio
Dance World has been teaching in Columbia since 1977, offering what they call "Professional Instruction with a Personal Touch".

You'll find them at 140 Commercial Drive, near the Seven Oaks Shopping Center on St. Andrews Road.
The studio runs a touring, performing and competing dance company called the J.T.ettes, which gives serious young dancers a pathway beyond regular classes. Dance World also hosts birthday parties on-site, making the studio a focal point for celebrations in the Columbia dance community.
The studio calendar follows a traditional academic year, with fall classes beginning in early September. They close for Thanksgiving, Winter Break (late December through early January), Spring Break, and observe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Each year, Dance World marks its anniversary with a recital — the 49th Anniversary Recital is scheduled for May 8th and 9th. The studio is run by Lisa Wilson Page, who serves as owner and director.
