About this studio
ShowBiz Academy of Dance is located in northwest Tucson on N. Camino Martin, south of Ina Road between I-10 and Old Father Studio. The studio offers more than 40 different dance classes for children and adults of all ages and levels, with professional-level instruction across multiple styles.
Recreational classes form the foundation of the studio's programme. These core classes are designed to build strong technique, confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of dance in a supportive, uplifting environment. The studio emphasises proper technique, musicality, strength and expression without the pressure of competition. Recreational class offerings include Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Flip Hop, Acro & Tumble, Leaps & Turns, Stretch, Pointe, Tap and Musical Theatre Production. Each class is structured to meet dancers where they are, allowing them to progress at a comfortable pace. Recreational dancers perform at both Summer and Winter recitals each year.
ShowBiz also operates 23 performing companies that compete at regional and national levels, and the studio has received several state and national titles. The competitive programme offers opportunities for dancers to develop at upper levels. The studio's competitive dancers are a source of particular pride.
New students are always welcome year-round. You are welcome to attend one trial recreational class to test the waters. All students must complete a Registration Form and Liability Waiver, available online or in-studio. The office is open Monday to Thursday afternoons and evenings (3:30 pm to 8:30 pm, with exact hours varying by day), closed Friday to Sunday. Classes begin 8 August 2026. The studio also hosts performances and showcases throughout the year, including a Fall Tucson Dance Showcase (28–29 October), Winter Showcase (13 December) and the Marana Tree Lighting event (5 December).
