Welcome to The Dance Conservatory

The Dance Conservatory is a privately owned studio that was established in 2003 by Annette Thomas. We offer Ballroom, Special Needs Ballroom, and Cabaret (lift). Our teachers are kind and caring and we’re VERY careful to keep our costuming, music and choreography modest, uplifting, and fun! We believe it’s just as important to be GOOD PEOPLE as it is to be GOOD DANCERS and we help our dancers have good sportsmanship, be kind, and show respect on and off the dance floor. We offer ballroom teams for ages 9-18 divided into different age and ability levels, Cabaret (lift) for ages 14-18, and Special Needs Ballroom for teens and young adults with special needs and peer tutors.

We’re centrally located in Rigby and have dance families that come from Shelley, Idaho Falls, Ucon, Lewisville, Rexburg, Sugar City, Dubois, and Rigby. We have amazing dance families! We realize that families have many things competing for their time so we’re really careful and selective with our scheduling. We want students to be able to participate in dance without it completely taking over their schedules and budgets. Dance is such a fun, beautiful, uplifting art form and a great form of exercise. We try to make it affordable and available to everyone, and we invite you to join our studio. You’re welcome to contact me with any questions, I’m happy to help!

Dance Conservatory Testimonials

Annette and Emily are fantastic! We have had children at the studio for three years. Next year five of our children will be dancing there. My boys signed up for ballroom dancing with a lot of hesitation but they loved it from day one due to Emily’s amazing teaching. She is energetic, supportive of the students, and has an incredible talent for choreography. I trust them with my children. They hold high standards and maintain a studio where the music, dancing, and costumes are appropriate and in excellent taste. I appreciate that they teach proper technique with humor, making the classes so much fun for my kids! Their behavior expectations make the classes efficient while teaching the students proper etiquette. My children are learning not only dancing, but so much more! Truly, such an excellent studio!

My son has had such a positive experience working with the Dance Conservatory. They seem to have the right balance of expecting greatness yet being low key and dancing for the fun of it. They are great at communication and keeping costs down. I also love that they pick costumes and music that fall in line with my values. My son looks forward to going to dance each week. It has been a positive learning and growing experience for him.

This is my family’s third year with The Dance Conservatory and I’ve been so impressed with every aspect of this business! Annette is very careful to hire teachers who love working with youth and children and who will teach them proper technique. At The Dance Conservatory, instruction is given in a warm, encouraging, and inspiring way. Each of my children is being challenged at a level that is appropriate for their age and ability. We look forward to many more great years with The Dance Conservatory!
—Cosette
My two youngest daughters have danced with Annette Thomas for several years. They love it! And I appreciate that Annette is so willing to work with us and really cares about how they are doing! She is knowledgeable, keeps her class sizes small, and works really hard to make sure they are dancing in modest costumes to appropriate music. My girls are very busy, and Annette makes sure that dance does NOT rule our schedule. I highly recommend The Dance Conservatory to anyone!
