Dance Without Limits: Where Everyone Is Welcomed and Celebrated!

Dance is such a wonderful activity for any child (or adult) to get involved in because it helps to build confidence and character. Plus, making friends in the class is often a bonus!

At Dance Without Limits in Greenville, SC, all of those benefits are multiplied several times over because this studio is more than a dance studio: it is a place where any child, no matter their ability, is welcomed with open arms. This stems directly from Beth Bradley’s own family upbringing and love of dance – and is a big reason why parents bring their children to Dance Without Limits year after year.

About Dance Without Limits

Dance Without Limits offers a range of programs suitable for ages 18 months through adults.

The 2024-25 season is their ninth season of dance classes, which kicked off August 5th. They have classes in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, and acrobatics. Twinkle Toes is their adorable preschool program for ages 18 months to five years old. And this season ushers in the new KinderStars program for students in K5.

A program that has been at DWL for all nine seasons is the Limitless Friends program for students with disabilities. This is an important aspect of the studio’s mission and it’s because of Beth Bradley, the owner of the studio.

Who is Beth Bradley?

Beth is a pretty incredible lady. I’ve had the honor of interviewing her for my work with Kidding Around and getting to see her at awards shows in town because if there’s an award for dance studios, Dance Without Limits is going to be a contender.

But here’s why Beth decided to create a dance studio that focused on including kids of all ages and abilities: she’s the oldest of 18 kids. Fifteen of her siblings are adopted. And her parents specifically adopted children that often had some kind of limitations in their life.

“My parents felt called to adopt children that were a little bit more difficult to place; a lot of my siblings have disabilities, are from other countries, or were older when they came to us,” Beth said. “That really impacted how I see the world and how I view my role in the world.”

I don’t tear up often but when I first interviewed Beth and she told me this story, I nearly cried – on camera, no less. What an incredible family to come from and an even more remarkable way to honor her upbringing than to open a dance studio that seeks to include everyone.

Beth started dancing at only four-years-old and and teaching at 19 when she was in college. Dance has always been her love and opening up Dance Without Limits was the ideal way to bring her special perspective and passion for dancing to the Greenville community.

KinderStars Dance Program

One of the highlights of Dance Without Limits is its new KinderStars dance program designed specifically for children transitioning from preschool dance to more structured classes. These 45-minute combo classes in tap/ballet, jazz/lyrical, and acro/hip hop are tailored to 5-6 year olds, ensuring they build upon the strong dance foundation laid by the Twinkle Toes preschool program.

What sets KinderStars apart are the fun class elements integrated into each session, including props like Twinkle bears and streamers, obstacle courses, bubbles, and free dance. These elements not only engage young dancers but also foster creativity and enjoyment in learning dance.

Come on and get moving, adults!

Beyond children’s classes, Dance Without Limits offers a robust Adult Dance Program that appeals to moms (and anyone else interested) looking to stay active, have fun, and socialize in a welcoming environment.

Classes include hip hop, ballet, jazz, tap, and Zumba, catering to a variety of interests and fitness levels. As soon as these classes were announced, I’m not gonna lie, I absolutely looked them up because I love, love, love dance. I met my husband during salsa dance lessons many moons ago and still love to shake my hips whenever I get the chance so the adult dance classes are very appealing. And even if you don’t have a shred of rhythm in your body, these classes are still really enjoyable and fun for adults.

No one is going to judge you here and everyone is encouraged to enjoy a new way to unwind and exercise while having fun and developing new skills at their own pace.

They also don’t have over-the-top or inappropriate costumes for their students. Everything is family-friendly and age-appropriate.

What Parents Say about Dance Without Limits
