Woodbridge School of Dance dancers in black leotards striking a contemporary pose in the studio
A Middlesex County institution for nearly 50 years
Woodbridge School of Dance is a dance studio in Avenel, NJ, where dancers ages 2.5 through teens have trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, acro, lyrical, contemporary and musical theatre since 1978.
Now heading into our 49th season, WSD has grown from a one-room studio into one of the largest dance facilities in Middlesex County — and into something bigger than a dance studio. It's a community built on dedication and integrity, where generations of Woodbridge Township families have found their place. Be a part of the legacy.
