Ken and Jean is where I spent most of my childhood, where I learned that I love dance, where I watched amazing teachers that inspired me, and where I made some of my best friends. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone I knew looking for a real dance experience with some truly compassionate people. We absolutely love it at Ken & Jean's. My 3 year old & 5 year old daughters ask to go to dance on a daily basis.
Their teachers are professional, positive, and radiate warmth toward all the students. We couldn't ask for a better environment for our daughters. Ken & Jean Dance Studio is simply the best at what they do. Thank you for being such an amazing, encouraging, and supportive studio. Best dance studio hands down! The teachers are amazing with the kids!
Darcy knows every little girls name that dances there. Everyone there makes each little dancer feel special! Love this place! Makes my heart smile just thinking of what these teachers have done for my girls.

Ken Phifer and Jean Dorfield founded the Ken & Jean Dance Studio in 1948, the year before they were married.
They were partnered as a dance team in their early teens, which quickly became a partnership for life.
Jean was three when she first took her place in a dance class.
Two years later, Ken walked into the same studio to begin dancing at the age of seven.
Their teacher recognized a winning combination of talent and chemistry, and paired the two as a dance team.
They were soon dancing together in performances across the tri-state area.

Ken & Jean Dance Studio is equipped with two studios with custom state-of-the-art dance floors that greatly enhance the dancer's experience.
These floors facilitate soft landings when mastering leaps and jumps.
It is our belief that students are more prone to the risk of injury in studios that do not have customized dance floors.
Our reception room has viewing windows into the studio, as we believe that parents should be able to see the way that their children are being instructed.
It is also reassuring for young, first-time dancers to be able to see their parents while in class.
