Experienced and Caring Instructors

Mary Lorraine teaching our young dancers.

Our faculty is made up of passionate teachers who bring years of dance training and professional experience to the studio. More importantly, they care about each student’s personal growth, both as dancers and as individuals. Many of our teachers have degrees in dance or education or professional dance performance experience.

Programs for Every Dancer

Not every student wants to compete — and that’s okay! We offer both recreational dance classes and competitive training, so whether your child is here to build confidence and have fun, or to pursue advanced performance opportunities, we have the right program. You also can try both. Many of our dancers start in the recreational program and decide to join the competitive team when interested.

A Reputation for Excellence

For decades, Mary Lorraine’s Dance Center has been a trusted name in Omaha dance. Many of our students have gone on to professional opportunities, while countless others carry the confidence, discipline, and friendships they built here into every part of their lives.

A Welcoming Community

Dance is about more than technique. Our studio feels like a second home to many families, where students support one another and parents build lasting connections. That sense of community is something we’re especially proud of. Parents are welcome to sit and chat in the lobby while dancers can hang out with in the dancer's lounge.
