About Us

Established in 1984 by Karen Willes, Carousel Dance Studio is located in the West San Fernando Valley. The West Valley school is dedicated to excellence in dance training; our critically acclaimed staff consists of professional working dancers/choreographers and Carousel alumni.

We offer a variety of styles and classes for children ages 3 and up, including Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, Tumbling, and more. For adults, we offer Beginning Hip Hop. We also host a special needs dance class on Saturday mornings in collaboration with the Ishan Foundation.

Our aim is to provide a well rounded education in all areas of dance with an emphasis on a strong ballet foundation.
