Find Your Class
Youth Classes
(Ages 18mo.–17)
From Toddler & Me and Dance Basics for our littlest dancers to ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre, acrodance, and combo classes for kids and teens. Younger classes are grouped by age; ages 11 and up by age and ability — so beginners and experienced dancers both find the right fit.
Adult Classes
(Beginner to Advanced)
One of the area's largest adult dance programs. True beginner classes, intermediate and advanced levels, flexible class cards, and zero pressure to perform unless you want to.
About Our Studio
Dance Tracks isn't just a studio — it's a dance community. Since 2001, owner Julie Giuliani-Chucka and a professionally trained faculty have built a studio culture centered on welcome, belonging, personal growth, and fun. Our instructors bring backgrounds in dance education, professional ballet training, choreography, musical theatre, and more — and they perform in the spring recital alongside their students.
Why choose Dance Tracks?
You don't age out here.
Our recital stage has held performers from age 3 to 83. Adults aren't an afterthought at Dance Tracks — they're a core part of the studio, with their own classes, levels, and options.
Small classes, real feedback
We keep class sizes reasonable on purpose, so instructors can learn each dancer's strengths, give individual corrections, and make sure no one gets lost in a crowd.
Floors built to protect dancers.
Both studios have floating wood floors installed over roughly 3,000 high-density foam blocks, raised about four inches above the concrete. The floors absorb impact to protect joints — and wood is ideal for tap and turns.
A family-friendly studio, by design.
Modest, age-appropriate dress codes. Edited, age-appropriate music. Observation windows so parents can watch class. A waiting area with toys for siblings, and a director who's available when you have questions.
Teaching experience you can trust.
Owner and director Julie Giuliani-Chucka holds a B.S. in Dance Education from UW–Stevens Point, has taught since 1985, and opened Dance Tracks in 2001 — 25 years of building dancers in Waukesha.
Real stage time.
Recital choreography at Dance Tracks runs at least about three and a half minutes per dance, so students get substantial time on stage — not a blink-and-you-miss-it moment.
Adults Dance Here
First-Timers Welcome
If you've been thinking "I'm too old to start" or "everyone else will already know what they're doing," this section is for you.
Dance Tracks runs a large adult program with classes organized by ability, not age. Absolute beginners are welcome — Beginning Tap I is specifically for adults with no experience — and many of our adult dancers started (or restarted) in their 20s, 30s, 50s, and beyond.
Performing is completely optional. Come for fitness, creativity, and community; join the recital only if you want to.
Can't commit to every week? Adult class cards let you pay only for the classes you attend, which works well around jobs, kids, and real life.
