About Danswest

Danswest Dance began in 1976 under the direction of renowned tap dancer Frank Trent. In 2005, the studio found new leadership in the mother-daughter team of Jill and Megan Maltos, with Megan—a former Danswest student—bringing her passion and experience full circle. Now entering our 20th season under their guidance, Danswest continues its legacy of quality dance training, community spirit, and a love for movement that spans generations.
