At Barefoot Dance Center, we train the βwhole dancer.β Our students include people of all ages who are curious learners in search of their own voices as dance artists. We teach organic alignment so that dancers don't force their turnout or strain their hips and knees. We honor each individual body for what it is naturally capable of while challenging our students to attain new skills. While working to gain certain goals in a technique class, they are also being challenged as dance-makers.
Our desire as teachers is to help them on the path to becoming innovative choreographers who have something to say. Additionally, our students strive toward becoming powerful performers with abilities to focus and delve deeply into expressing themselves

Barefoot dance is an oasis for young people to thrive through movement and the expert teaching of Jessie(the owner). She is wise, compassionate and inspiring. Grateful that my daughter has the opportunity to shine in the Hudson Valley.

I began dancing at Barefoot when I was about six years old and continued until I graduated high school at seventeen. Barefoot was an incredibly accepting and safe community for me to grow up in and allowed me to foster my love for dance and artistic expression. If it wasn't for the support I received here from my teachers and fellow dancers, I wouldn't have had the courage to pursue dance in college. I could go on and on about the love and gratitude I have for this studio and the many opportunities it has given me so far in my life. I wouldn't be who I am without Barefoot, so I strongly recommend joining this warm community because you never know where it could lead.

Barefoot Dance Center has been transformational for our son, who has been taking classes there for 7 years, since 3rd grade. At BDC, creative expression and technique go hand in hand; its approach nurtures the whole dancer and the whole person. Such a supportive and stimulating environment, and such remarkable instructors. A true gem in the Hudson Valley and beyond!

Barefoot Dance Center is a Hudson Valley gem of a dance studio. Jessie is a spectacular teacher, choreographer, dancer and role model. Both our kids have been dancing there since they were toddlers. Jessie and the teachers at Barefoot are truly helping to nurture young dancers (at the studio) as they grow into brilliant, well-rounded human beings.

Barefoot Dance is a wonderful and welcoming place! Jessie and Erin have taught our kids to be comfortable and confident in their bodies and encouraged their creativity. The adult yoga class is also very supportive and empowering!

My daughter and son are both Barefoot dancers, and the studio's teachers, philosophy, energy, and choreography are amazing. I was looking for a place without makeup, sequins, or competition, and was so lucky to find a studio dedicated instead to organic movement and positivity. Jessie and her team are thoughtful, kind, and compassionate, and encourage dancers to use their imaginations as well as their bodies. Their annual concert will blow you away, it's incredibly modern and interrogative. We're so grateful to live nearby!

Barefoot dance has been a transformative part of our daughter's life. We love that Jessie focuses on educating the whole dancer, incorporating technique and creative choreography. The supportive atmosphere creates a space where dancers take ownership of their work and collaboratively strive for creative excellence. I can't recommend Barefoot dance enough!

If you are looking for a dance program for your child I can't recommend Barefoot highly enough. Both of my daughters danced at Barefoot from the age of 3 or 4 all the way though high school. Jessie's program is unlike any other that I've seen. The focus is on the child doing choreography and really learning about themselves through dance. I do not exaggerate when I say that the Barefoot community helped both of my daughters survive adolescence with love and support. Even the performances were student centered and so positive without the usual focus on expensive costumes and appearance. Both my daughters learned so much and made amazing dances with their Barefoot community. Jessie is an amazing and talented human. Sign up for Barefoot Dance!!
