Home

The goal of the Betty Gundersen Studio of Dance is to provide students with quality dance education so that all of them, whether they study with us for one year or ten, leave our studio with a love and appreciation for the art of dance, as well as a sense of self-worth and accomplishment.

Founder and owner of the Betty Gundersen Studio of Dance, Betty has shared her love of dance with hundreds of children over the past 46 years. Betty has trained with many masters throughout her career. She intensively studied with New York School of Ballet Reparatory, as well as Finish Jung, David DeMarie, and Robert Christopher to name a few.

Betty is highly regarded for her work with children; guiding and instilling the love of dance and importance of good technique to all young students. She is a member of the Cecchetti Council of America and is test certified to teach by Dance Masters of America and the Dance Teachers Club of Boston.

The Betty Gundersen Studio of Dance faculty members are a team of qualified professionals with diverse backgrounds. They are dedicated to offering your child the best dance education possible.
