| Kaleidoscope Dance Studio provides dance instruction for children ages 3 and up. Our goal is to provide a positive dance experience to all who are interested in learning. We offer competition and non-competition team classes. Dance is a discipline that exercises the mind as well as the body and we feel that the experiences in dance should lead students positively in other areas of their lives. The studio produces an annual recital every May and also participates in several community activities throughout the year including: Kids Expo; Showtime; Lakeshore Weekend for Kids; and the Manitowoc Holiday parade.  The staff of Kaleidoscope Dance Studio has several years of dance and teaching experience. We attend national conferences and workshops to keep our skills current and have taken classes from world recognized choreographers such as Wade Robson, Shane Sparks, Mia Michaels, Brian Freidman, and Tony Meredith. We are committed to making your dance experience a challenging one. Tammy Sterwald is the Owner/Director of the studio and is also an instructor and choreographer at the studio.
