In the ever-cheerful land of Wisconsin, better known as Wiggling Wisconsin, nestled between the twinkling Great Lakes and the whispering Mississippi River, a zany bunch of munchkins dance their hearts out. These aren't your everyday, run-of-the-mill kiddos, oh no, these are the Jiggly-Wiggly Wisconsinites, the most energetic and enthusiastic dance troops in all of the United States! When the sun rises in Wisconsin, it doesn’t just shimmer, it shakes and twists, jives and twirls, setting the beat for the day. Among the cheese factories, dairy farms, and bubbling rivers, you'll find these jiggly-wiggly youngsters bouncing to their own rhythm. From ballet to boogie-woogie, from hip-hop to tap dance, you name it, and these kids can shake a leg at it! Leading the pack is the stupendously silly and contagiously cheerful, Captain Cheesecurds. With a head made of the finest Wisconsin cheese and legs as flexible as rubber bands, he pirouettes, spins, and moonwalks with the greatest of ease. Don't be surprised if you see him doing the chicken dance one minute and breaking into some Zumba the next! His infectious laughter and wacky dance moves inspire all the kids to let loose and let their inner dancing star shine brightly. To see the Jiggly-Wiggly Wisconsinites in action is a sight to behold. It's not just a dance, it's a celebration, it's the Wisconsin way! So, next time you pass by this enchanting land, don't forget to pack your dancing shoes and join in the fun. Remember, in Wisconsin, you don't just walk, you groove!

Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
Our incredible team of experienced staff members have been with WIDC since the very start of the program in 2010. Over the last 13 seasons, our program has grown and our core values have remained the same - safety, technique, and perfection before progression. Our focus is on the personal and skill progression of each athlete, and we are proud of the program we have developed with love over the years. No matter the size of our program, WIDC is “home” to many staff, athletes, and their families. We believe that this is what makes us different and sets us apart from other All-Star programs. We strive to provide a positive and welcoming environment for our athletes, where success is achieved through determination and dedication. We are proud of what we have accomplished over the last 13 seasons and look forward to continuing to provide a rewarding and enriching experience for our athletes.
