About LATHROP SCHOOL OF DANCE

The Lathrop School of Dance, now celebrating 72 years, was started by Mack and Virginia Lathrop. They retired in Newtown from a successful stage and vaudeville career which included engagements in many of the world's top venues. "Miss Diane" Wardenburg, who started with the Lathrops at the age of 4, later began assisting Mack and Mrs. Lathrop. "Mack" Lathrop passed away in 1984 and "Mrs. Lathrop" assumed the role of director and lead choreographer. Miss Diane continued her mentoring and became Mrs. Lathrop's assistant.

Miss Tamra, who started as a student in 1989, joined the faculty in 2003. When Mrs. Lathrop passed in November of 2009, Miss Diane continued the school as owner and director with Miss Tamra as her assistant. In 2019, Miss Tamra became the owner and director of the school, with the Lathrops as guiding light from above, and Miss Diane just a call away.
