Dance Studio in Franklin, TN

Where dancers find their artistry

Find out what your dancer is capable of

You want more than a place to drop your daughter off on a Tuesday night. You want her pushed and actually corrected, and you want to know she's cared for while it happens. That's the studio we've built in Franklin.

You'll find high-level training at every age, starting with a first preschool class and running through teen competition training. Your dancer can take ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and more. Wherever she starts, she'll finish the season stronger and further along than she expected to get.

You won’t be doing this alone

Your dancer will be known here. Her teachers will learn her name, what she's good at, and the one thing she's working on this month. They'll hold her to a standard and cheer for her while they do it. When you walk through the door, you're joining a group of families who show up for each other's kids.

A superb dance studio. We love the emphasis on technique and the standard of excellence. But even more, we love the supportive and kind culture.

We were so glad to move to The Collective for my daughter's senior year. After many years in competitive dance, dancing at The Collective TN was an amazing experience. Shelby cares about each and every dancer and gives them an opportunity to thrive.

The culture Shelby has built is truly something special: positive, supportive, and focused on helping every dancer grow not just in skill, but in confidence and character. They hold the dancers to a high standard, but it's always encouraging and constructive. My daughter has grown so much, both technically and personally.

My daughter became a member of the Senior comp team this year. I can't begin to explain the amount of support, love, instruction, and guidance she has received. Her growth over this short time has been unbelievable. Starting at The Collective is the best decision we've made along her dance journey.
