Premiere Dance Project

Premiere Dance Project operates two locations in Waukee and West Des Moines, Iowa, with five studios in Waukee and two in West Des Moines. The studio serves dancers aged 18 months through 18 years with a range of classes, recreational programs, and competitive tracks.

Introductory classes for ages 18 months to 7 years include Parent + Me (for 18 months–2 years), Creative Concepts and Tumble Tots (ages 2–3), Discover Dance (ages 3–4), KinderCombo (ages 4–5), and Introductory Acro, Hip Hop, Musical Theater, and Pom (ages 3–5). Intermediate Progression and Beginner-level classes bridge into the foundational program. The Introductory curriculum is structured, age-specific, and taught consistently. Young dancers earn Hardworking Student Cards throughout the season and are eligible for Dancer of the Month.

Foundational classes serve ages 7 and up, building strong technical foundations while developing confidence and discipline. The studio also offers short-term classes, private lessons, summer camps, and seasonal programming. Recreational programs include Accelerated Classes, Student Mentorship, and Waukee Premiere Pom. Competitive offerings include the Crew program (Members Only) and Company program (Members Only). All classes perform in Premiere's Winter In-Studio Showcase and Annual Recital unless otherwise noted.

The Waukee studios feature sprung floors with marley flooring, mirrors, barres, central air and heat, and Bluetooth-compatible sound systems. Limited tables and chairs are available upon request. Rental spaces are available for rehearsals, private lessons, auditions, photo and video shoots, workshops, master classes, events, and classes in dance and related movement arts. Studio rentals accommodate off-hours mornings, weekends, late evening slots, school vacations, and holidays.

The studio emphasizes positive culture, transparent communication, and student-centered values built on community, excellence, teamwork, and evolution. Trial classes are available for $10. The Waukee location is open Monday–Friday 9:00 a.m.–7:30 p.m. (Wednesday until 8:00 p.m., Thursday until 4:00 p.m., Friday until 12:00 p.m.).
