About the Studio

Miss Chloe’s is dedicated to preserving the joy of experiencing classical dance and performing arts through affordable yet high quality progression training and instruction in a truly non-competitive environment, where all students are valued and celebrated for their effort and dedication to the art.

Ballet is our core foundation and is most recommended, however we offer various styles of dance. As an active member of the Loudon County Chamber of Commerce, in addition to our annual productions, we regularly perform and participate in seasonal community events, parades and more on top of our annual productions. Classes are ever-evolving and are currently offered for all preschool through adults in beginner, intermediate, professional and recreational levels.
