Dance lessons specializing in jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, combo dance classes and more.  Located in Waunakee WI, Spotlight Dance Studio caters to many nearby communities; Dane Deforest, Lodi, Sun Prairie, Middleton and more.  Erin Cotter and Tiffany Wenzel opened the doors of Spotlight Dance Academy in June of 2006, and have been growing ever since! Born and raised in the Dells/Baraboo area, dance has always been a big part of their lives. Both Erin and Tiffany started dancing at the age of 2. In 2001 they began teaching and choreographing for their instructor in Baraboo. After teaching for 5 years, they decided to follow their dream of opening their own studio, and moved to Waunakee. 

Some dance experiences that they have had include teaching jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and lyrical to ages 2 to adult, dancing in the production of the Rainforest Ballet with the David Taylor Dance Company, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Phantom of the Opera, Sleeping Beauty, a halftime performance for the Harlem Globetrotters, choreographing and coaching for dance teams at the high school and college levels, and attending numerous conventions and competitions with Dance Olympus, Tremaine, Dupree, Company Dance, Showstoppers, and more! They also have gotten the privilege of privately training with national known choreographer and instructor Julianne Oster, and most recently Hokuto "hok" Konishi from America's Best Dance Crew, and So You Think You Can Dance. Hok spent 3 days in Waunakee working with Spotlgiht Dance Academy staff and students on technique and choreography.
