Children, ages 2-18, come from all over the area to take lessons in ballet, jazz, and tap at the Meneer School of Dance. Students come from Stow, Munroe Falls, Hudson, Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Akron, and Kent. Our school also draws students from outlying areas such as Solon, Twinsburg, Ravenna, Brimfield, Streetsboro, Green, Canton, and Wadsworth to receive the best training and performing opportunities in Northeastern Ohio.
The Meneer School of Dance is home to BALLET THEATRE OF OHIO (BTO). BTO is a pre-professional ballet company founded by Christine Meneer. Its repertory includes The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Coppelia, The Little Mermaid, and The Wizard of Oz. On May 4, 2024 BTO will debut Beauty & the Beast at the Akron Civic Theatre. All BTO company dancers are trained at the Meneer School of Dance and an additional 40-60 children from our dance school are cast in its productions each year. Our dancers have the opportunity to partner with and dance on the same stage as seasoned professionals.
The Meneer School of Dance is also home to DANCE KRAZE, a Jazz and Tap competition team. Kim Sulek is the Director for the team which competes three times each year throughout the state in jazz, tap, modern, and lyrical. Our team has gathered the highest awards of the competition including Best Choreography and Best Studio.
