Sandler Training, 6 Waterside Dr, Farmington, CT 06032, US

Diana Evjen spent her early years in California and has danced professionally all over the world, but her new 4,300-square-foot dance studio is right in Farmington. Since opening four years ago, the academy has grown and added more ballet, tap and jazz classes for kids and adults. Some of the unique programs offered at Evjen are Teen Guys' Hip Hop and the Little Stars Academy. For those looking for a more challenging dance curriculum, there is an Elite Company for students from age 6 up to teenage years. Yoga and Pilates classes are offered in the evenings.
