Project Dance - Ludlow

Quality Dance Instruction in a Unique Dance Atmosphere

October 1, 2014


Project Dance a studio in the heart of Ludlow’s East Street Revitalization district offers quality dance instruction in a unique dance atmosphere. Project Dance is committed to the art of dance.  We work hard to instill self expression, discipline and passion in each of our students. 

Daily classes are offered in Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Tap and Musical Theater. Classes are offered for children 2 and up.

Owner/Artistic Director Libby Dowling Studied dance at The State University of New York at Purchase and has been teaching children in the Springfield area for 15 years.  

Throughout the dance season the studio offers many events and field trips to see professional dance companies and also participates in dance conventions in the area.  We provide many ways for our students to build friendships and bonds  outside of the competitive realm.  This is our main focus as a studio.  A positive place for kids to  progress in their technique and performance abilities and to find the pure joy in that endeavor.

If you are interested in learning more about us please feel free to call the studio at (413)886-9958. Also check us out on Facebook and visit our tumblr at projectdance413@tumblr.com.  Make sure to mention Macaroni kid when you call.

What some of our parents and students are saying:

Renee Student Growing up dance was always my escape from the outside world thanks to Libby. She creates a judgement and drama free atmosphere that I always loved going to. She taught me my love and passion for dance that will stay with me forever. I could never thank her enough for everything she has done for me and taught me in my life. I can only hope my daughters someday are as blessed to have such an amazing teacher as I did.

Steph Student Libby was an excellent teacher and role model for the five years that I was lucky enough to dance for her.. She always pushed me to do better and instilled a new sense of confidence that I wasn't used to. Her passion and dedication to dance, ballet especially, is infectious and spreads throughout the classroom. Not only does she want you to thrive in the studio, she also keeps a personal, outside connection with her students.

Amanda Student Looking back on my 13 years of dance, I miss the time spent learning from the most talented dancer I know! Libby's instruction is just full of incredible technique and passion, and these qualities are quickly absorbed by her students. Not only are the routines some of the most creative and fun to learn, but they are also challenging. From my years of experience dancing for Libby, I gained confidence in myself as a dancer and developed a bond with both her as an instructor and my fellow dancers in the class. Project Dance is THE place to learn skills that will remain with you for life!!

Kelly Parent Amazing! Libby is the best. My daughter Ava is very shy and can get very worried. She had a blast. Wasn't nervous at all.

Heather Parent Liz ADORES you and the studio! She is already practicing her routine and can't wait until next week! Her comment was, "Mom, are you sure it's just once per week?"
