Studio History
The Dance Studio was founded in 1934 by Margaret Krimmel, (“Miss Margaret”). At the time the studio was called Broadway Radio and Dance Studio. Among Miss Margaret’s students were Christopher Walken, American actor, who took tap lessons with his older brother, Ken. In 1959, Dorothy Jenson, (“Miss Dorothy”), who was also Miss Margaret’s student took over the studio renaming it Broadway Dance Studio (BDS). Prior to taking over BDS Miss Dorothy joined a dance troupe in 1945 performing on the road and in local theatres. Miss Dorothy performed for the troops during WWII and was seen on the Ed Sullivan show. Miss Dorothy brought her vast experience to the success of BDS.
Our Program
At Broadway Dance Studio, we focus on our students. Our teachers are dedicated to helping the dancer gain poise and confidence in a fun environment.
