See Details belowUtica Dance Nutcracker 2025 at MVCC December 12,13,14
Utica Dance where we are now: after winding down 52 years of dance in the Oneida Square Arts District we lost the state-of-the-art, premiere dance building at 324 Genesee Street, Utica, in June 2025. Sadly, were evicted so that Munson can use the space for purposes other than dance. I have many friends, old and new, to thank for making this transition bearable.
Planning ahead: Dancenter of Utica and Herkimer has hired me and Anthony Salatino to teach their ballet classes. They are located at 2007 Genesee Street in the Uptown Plaza. The registration of all summer and fall classes is through Dancenterstudio.com What you can do: Create an account today so that you can receive valuable information about the classes at Dancenter of Utica and join a class this summer!Utica Dance, Inc will remain intact so that we can present performances, programs, and workshops for the benefit of the whole community. The Utica Dance Nutcracker is scheduled for December 12,13,14, 2025 at MVCC. We will continue facilitating a number of dance residencies throughout the year with funding from the NYS DanceForce.

ABOUT UTICA DANCE
The Utica Dance is passionately committed to providing students with the opportunity to learn the art of dance in a positive, structured, and inspiring environment. Utica Dance is independently owned and operated and was formerly known as the Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute Dance Program. We are proud of our long tradition of over 52 years providing the highest quality dance instruction in ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance.
Nancy, Tony, Bailey and Rebekah are excited to welcome new and returning students to our world of dance.
Our dance productions provide all students in the Children's and Pre-Professional Divisions with opportunities to perform in professional caliber shows that range from classic ballets to original contemporary dances. Our Teen/Adult Division offers introductory and intermediate classes in ballet, jazz and tap for students who wish to experience the joy and benefits of dance training at any age. All prospective students and parents are encouraged to email or call for advice on classes.
We invite all students and teachers to enhance their dance training by attending any of the workshops offered at our school throughout the year. Workshops and master classes are led by our distinguished faculty, staff and guest instructors.
