Ed's School of Dance is owned and operated by Ed and Carla Baresch. We have two locations to better serve the needs of everyone, one in Benton and another location in Sherwood.

We also have served as dance directors for over 20 years at Professional Educators in Little Rock.

Ed is the dance director for the North Little Rock Junior Catillion. Ed was a member of the National Association of Dance and Affiliated Artist for many years. He also served as President of the Arkansas Chapter. He taught master classes in tap and jazz in Jackson Mississippi, Monroe Louisiana and New Orleans Louisiana.

We enjoy working with all our parents and students. In our off times we enjoy living on the lake in Hot Springs. We love boating, swimming and our two four-legged children - Genoa (the boxer) and Jibsail (the cat).
