Rhonda's FooteWorks

Downtown Attractions - Recreation

Rhonda’s FooteWorks is located in Historic Downtown Watertown at the Top of the Square Plaza, offering dance classes for children and adults in a fun, welcoming, technique-focused environment. Established in 1987, the studio brings decades of dance legacy to the North Country while continuing to evolve with modern training approaches.

With three studio spaces and year-round instruction, Rhonda’s FooteWorks provides training for dancers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Whether enrolling a child in their first class or returning to dance as an adult, students find a supportive place to learn, build skills, and enjoy movement.

At Rhonda’s FooteWorks, technique is the foundation. The studio emphasizes strong fundamentals and disciplined training, knowing that strong results follow when dancers are taught well and challenged appropriately. Trophies line the front lobby, reflecting years of competitive success, but they are viewed as a byproduct of commitment, consistency, and thoughtful instruction rather than the sole measure of achievement.

A legacy of dance, led by lifelong passion

Owner Rhonda Foote has, in her words, danced “all of my life.” Her mother, Donna Foote, owned a dance studio for 38 years, and Rhonda continues that legacy with a commitment to professionalism, strong ethics, and an environment where dancers are encouraged to grow at their own pace.

That long-standing family tradition shapes the studio’s culture, creating a space rooted in discipline, respect, and a genuine love of dance.

For dancers who want to go further

For students seeking a more intensive path, Rhonda’s FooteWorks offers a company program designed for dancers ready to commit to higher-level training and performance. Company dancers receive additional instruction, focused technique development, and expanded performance opportunities, all within an environment that emphasizes accountability, discipline, and long-term growth.

The program is structured to challenge dancers while maintaining the studio’s core values, ensuring students develop both skill and confidence as they advance.
