Why choose DENOYER DANCE?

Lillian DeNoyer turned her love and passion for dance into a business in the 50’s, first teaching Tap and Baton in the South County area.  The studio grew and a second location was opened in Arnold in the early 70’s. Lillian managed and taught along with her daughter Sharon, until her death in 1998.  She will long be remembered by 1000’s of students who have studied under her.  We are now located back in South County, as close to Arnold as possible without crossing the Meramec River carrying on in the same “Family tradition” Lillian began all those years ago.
