Dianne Kelley Dance Studio

West Boylston is a great hometown.  Though it is small in size, it has many things for entertainment.  Something that makes West Boylston unique is the size of the town.  Everyone knows just about everyone else, and everyone's always friendly.  The schools of West Boylston are small but have a great faculty.  It's better for students when learning because the classes are a perfect size.  West Boylston offers sports, dance, arts, and social interaction for pre-teens and teens.

The Diane Kelley Dance Studio is located in the center of West Boylston on Crescent Street.  It is one of the top dance studios in the New England area.  Diane Kelley has many classes for ages starting 2+, she even offers adult classes!  Diane also has been one of the top competition teams in the country for almost 20 years.  She offers classes for ballet, jazz, tap, pointe, modern, acro, yoga, kick boxing, hip hop, contemporary, and adult aerobics.  I chose the Diane Kelley Dance Studio because I have danced there my whole life and it's a great way to keep teens out of trouble and having fun!
