Since then, Issaquah Dance Theatre (IDT) has thrived as a respected performing arts conservatory. We offer comprehensive programs that nurture diverse dance interests, fostering technical skill, artistic development, and individual empowerment.
Our focus is on cultivating artistic, personal, and professional growth in a caring environment. Through our performances, competitions, and outreach in the Puget Sound region, we aim to build a strong community around positive values through the arts.

"Our daughters have been dancing at Issaquah Dance Theatre for the past 7 years, and it has truly become a second home for our family. The staff and teachers are outstanding—caring, encouraging, and highly skilled. The quality of instruction is amazing, and our children have grown so much as dancers and as individuals. Beyond the dance training, we’ve built such a strong and supportive community here, which has been invaluable. We feel incredibly grateful for the guidance, artistry, and warmth that IDT provides. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dance studio that combines excellence with heart!"

"I am just starting my second year of college, and I started dancing at IDT at the age of 4, continuing all the way through high school. IDT has been a second home for me since the beginning. I have made some of my best friends there, and it has taught me so many things. I would recommend dance to anyone because it is such a unique sport and an amazing outlet for emotions. The instructors at IDT truly care about each dancer, both as performers and as people. They helped me grow not only in technique but also as a person.
Even now, in college, I carry the lessons and character I learned at IDT with me every day. It was always more than a dance studio to me — it’s a place where I built lifelong memories and became part of a family. I’m forever grateful to IDT for shaping me into the dancer and person I am today."

"All three of my girls have had such positive experiences at Issaquah Dance Theatre! My eldest, now 11, started classes here at age 3 and was hooked from the very first class — she recently joined the performing group! From the amazing teachers and variety of dance styles to the fellow dancers and families, it has just been wonderful to be part of the IDT family!"
