About Us
Dance can be exhilarating, fun, hard work, joyful, and greatly fulfilling. Through the work that is involved in developing dance skills, we have seen our students develop amazing powers of self-expression, self-esteem & personal responsibility.

Through 30 years of hard work, dedication, and with the supportive involvement of the community, High Desert Dance Arts has grown into one of the finest dance arts establishments Central Oregon offers.

Owned and operated by Jessica Bach, High Desert Dance Arts is a collective of diversely talented dance instructors who passionately love and enjoy teaching the art of dance to dance students of all ages.

The Studio is blessed with the extreme dedication to quality that its staff brings to every class, as well as to each beautifully presented performance.

Dance has made a positive difference in the lives of all of the teachers at High Desert Dance Arts. They, in return, find tremendous joy in passing on their own enthusiasm and knowledge of dance to each and every one of their students.

Within a nurturing, family-oriented atmosphere, we are here to inspire, challenge, and motivate. Most of all, we prepare our dancers to achieve their dreams through a foundation of technique, style, discipline, and drive, all found within the art of dance.
