About Dance Gallery Melrose in Melrose, MA

At the Dance Gallery, we understand our students. We recognize that not everyone who loves to dance wants to make a career out of it. That’s why we offer recreational programs as well as those designed for the serious dancer. We have a wide range of classes for all ages, from toddlers to adults, and for all levels, from beginner to professional. Our school has been around for 46 years, making us one of the oldest dance schools in the area. Under the artistic direction of Susan Tocco Catricala, we provide a variety of classes that suit the needs of both serious and recreational dancers. Our convenient location and schedule options make it easy for busy families to attend classes. We’re proud to have a street-front location with plenty of parking in the rear and access to historic Corinthian Hall upstairs. We’re always adding new programs throughout the dance season, so make sure to check back often!
