About Us

Classes

Grace Dance Academy offers classes for everyone! Some of our classes include ballet, jazz, tap, hiphop, and musical theater. We also have classes for young dancers and adults. Classes at Grace Dance Academy focus on quality training in a specific genre of dance while having fun and enjoying music and movement.

Teachers with Experience

Grace Dance Academy's director and main teacher is Carly Buri. Carly trained in ballet, jazz, tap, and many other styles of dance for 15 years mainly at the American Dance Center in Chicago, Illinois. As a dancer, she performed in many shows in the Chicago-land area as well as shows in Los Angeles and international dance festivals. Carly started teaching dance in Watertown in 2014, and she is excited to teach the majority of classes at Grace Dance Academy. Several assistant teachers at Grace Dance Academy have trained in dance from Carly.
