Harwood Watson Dance Studios

Harwood-Watson Dance Studios is a privately owned unique home for the performing arts in Orlando and Central Florida. Harwood-Watson is the evolution of generations of dance begun in the 1940's with Buddy Ebsen's father and mother's ballet school (The very first ballet school in Central Florida). This spawned The Edith and Bill Royal Ballet School, School of Performing Arts, Kip Watson and Barbara Riggins' Southern Ballet and school and now Harwood-Watson Dance Studios School.

HWD is a non-competitive artistic atmosphere which holds professional classes in ballet, contemporary, jazz, modern, tap, musical theater, character, hip hop and more for boys and girls ages four and up, including adults from beginner to high intermediate. Harwood-Watson Dance Studios provides the most authentic and highest quality dance training for all types of dancers and aims to acknowledge and assist in the growth of every student that passes through our doors.
