About Wempners' School of Dance
From a Class of 35 to 500 Students
We have been serving Fond du Lac and surrounding communities since our founding in 1974. You can rely on our 40-plus years of experience with our state-of-the-art dance facility.
Mary Wempner, a member of Chicago National Association of Dance Masters (CNADM), opened Wempners' School of Dance in a small grocery store, which was converted into a one-room dance studio. At the time, the studio had 35 students.
As the studio grew, Mary's daughter, Ann, started teaching lessons as well. More students began taking lessons, and over the years the studio grew to have over 500 students dancing. Ann is currently the owner and director of Wempner's School of Dance.
Now the studio has expanded and has many instructors, some of whom are former students. The third generation of Mary's family, her grandaughter, Chantee, is also teaching at the studio. Our family is here to serve you and yours.
Throughout our 40-plus years, we have been proud to serve the Fond du Lac community. Our current location has three studios on Main Street with hundreds of students and fully produced recitals at the Fond du Lac Performing Arts Center.
Discipline and Technique to Dance in Style
At Wempners' School of Dance, we pride ourselves on the discipline of the technique we teach in our classes. This gives students the opportunity to discover the Art of the Dance. The discipline and focus of technique training offer many benefits, such as conditioning, increased focus, concentration and memory, musicality, self-expression, and, of course, self-confidence.
We also believe that the benefits of dance should be available to everyone. But much like other sports and activities, not everybody advances at the same rate. There are those who enjoy dancing on a more casual level, and others that desire a more intense training; Wempners' supports and supplies both.
Because we believe dance should be enjoyed by everyone, our class levels and requirements are built to best serve all of our students. Dance is a discipline built on a progressive syllabus of technique, terminology and musicality. Therefore, students will accomplish these progressions at various rates. We, as teachers and parents, need to give them time, support and encouragement to achieve the requirements at each level of progression in order for them to succeed and enjoy their dance experience.
