Who We Are
Since 1968, Debbie Werbrouck School of Dance & Music has created a nurturing environment with positive reinforcement to help students grow physically, emotionally, and mentally.
NOW, more than ever, students need the benefits of dance in a safe and healthy environment! We know how to deliver the joy and confidence that students need. We provide the physical activity and creativity students need and want.
How do we know how to safely provide all the benefits that students need now? Research, caring and experience, lots of experience. Our student development includes confidence-building, creativity and the nurturing support that students need. All of our faculty grew up dancing and continue receiving their own dance education. We value the artistry and creativity of dance and want to share that with each student.
Always dedicated to providing excellence in dance education, our school grew from dance instruction at one location and one instructor to multiple locations, serving South Bend, Granger, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Goshen, Niles and the Michiana community, with an expanded expert faculty and a range of classes in dance. In addition, our student opportunities grew from one annual recital to an abundance of outstanding options.
Are you or do you have a beginner? We specialize in making your experience memorable. Call us today; you’ll be glad that you did. Don’t miss out on the benefits and fun.
