Our Beginnings
5-6-7-8 Dancenter originally began circa 1972 and was then called Dancenter. It has been housed in many locations around Jefferson City and has had various owners during it's 48 plus years. In 2011 it came up for sale and Sherry Bailey, who had been teaching at Dancenter since 2002, decided to purchase it with her friend Pauline Kuntz. They renamied the studio 5-6-7-8 Dancenter and moved it to its present location at 709 Madison. They started with 3 studio rooms and in 2013 the adjacent portion of the building became available so they expanded, creating a large 4th studio dance room, dressing room, and lobby with lots of storage and workspace in the back.Our Teaching Staff
