DANCE LIFE STUDIO & FITNESS

Welcome to Dance Life Studio
In person, Livestream, On Demand

Let’s have some Fun!

Dance Life is a fat positive, body positive dance studio offering belly dance, burlesque, ballet and cardio dance classes for adults. Join us in person, on livestream, or check out our on demand class library!

Dance is for ALL BODIES and we believe that you deserve access to joyful movement right now.

We warmly welcome participants of all genders, sizes, races, ages, mobility or ability level. If you have felt left out of a traditional dance or fitness space, we’re the place for you!

Dance Life is a community of people coming together to have fun, dance, maybe get some exercise or learn some technique if that’s a goal, and just enjoy moving. Take a break from the stress and get into your body with us.

We’re a small business located in Madison, WI and we’d love to chat with you. Send us a message on our chat app, or reach out to us via email! ❤️
