Premiere Dance Project dance studio will open June 3 in Waukee.

Owners Amanda Gustafson and Aunica Harvey will offer classes for students 18 months and up in ballet, tap, jazz, acro, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, pointe and modern. The studio also will offer yoga and dance personal training classes.

Premiere Dance Project opens in early June in Waukee.

Gustafson and Harvey will both graduate from the University of Iowa in May with degrees in dance. The women, both certified personal trainers, dancers and choreographers, participated in an organization through the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center at the university that helped them create a business plan for the start-up company.
