Located just off North 21st St. in Newark, Ohio, Patty’s Dance Center offers various dance classes year-round for children ages 3-18.

Patty’s Dance Center was established in 1970 and remains a family-run business today. Our founder, Patty Thagard, built one of the finest dance studios in our region. She has instilled love and compassion in our staff, knowing that every child is special. We help every child learn proper dance techniques and build self-confidence in a safe, nurturing environment. We teach dance because it is our passion!

Our approach is also modern. We pride ourselves on staying current in the world of dance through our music, choreography, and continuous education. The current owner, Jeanette Kieffer (aka “Patty’s daughter”), is a nationally recognized choreographer celebrated for her innovation and style. Our current team of instructors comprises Jeanette’s former students, who carry on a long-standing legacy of artistry and excellence.
