WELCOME TO
TGG DANCE STUDIO
Dance is our lifestyle through progression - TGG Crew
A Non-traditional dance studio focused on the well-being and build up of students of all ages and abilities and the community as a whole. TGG Dance Studio offers classes for skill training as well as competition teams, and performance teams. A specialty of the studio is our underground training that takes dance back to a mentor-mentee approach. Pushing students to reach their highest peak of excellence and abilities is our goal as well as the build up what is known as the Idaho Dance Scene. We LOVE our community and constantly strive to make it a welcoming place for all to enjoy. - TGG Family
WHY TGG
TGG Dance Studio is not like any studio you have been to. Upon walking through the street-front doors in downtown Nampa you will feel the energy and culture established immediately. The amount of love and care that each student receives emulates the exact reason why we call ourselves family.
A key note to the studio is our "$60.00 and done" deal. For $60.00 dollars a month a student is able to take whatever classes they like whenever they would like. This allows students to train to their full potential and broaden their repertoire of dance. We see no reason to limit any student to just one style of dance, and since TGG Studio was born from the underground dance scene we want all students to get the same, culture filled experience.
